Project-Based Learning in Physics: Analyzing Students' Ability to Determine Gravitational Acceleration Using Mobile Phone Sensors
Main Article Content
Abstract
We have carried out a simple harmonic oscillation experiment using the Project Based Learning (PjBL) approach assisted by the Phyphox mobile sensor. The project-based learning of a simple harmonic oscillation experiment intends to analyze the student ability to improve their competency on the subject and the 21st-century competencies. The results showed a 20% improvement in students' understanding of the concept of simple harmonic motion and a 15% increase in their digital literacy scores. PjBL supports the development of 21st-century competencies in collaboration and communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving, adaptability and flexibility, technology capabilities, independence, and self-regulation capabilities. By PjBL, the student’s ability in all aspects, especially creativity and innovation improved. Hence, we believe that by this approach we can enhance the physics understanding, creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy of the student.
