Abstract

Misinterpretation of concepts or misconceptions often occurs in physics, especially in linear motion material. To overcome this problem, this study developed interactive learning media based on the Genially platform by applying Posner’s Conceptual Change Theory. The research used the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) and involved 35 grade XI students at SMAN 5 Jambi City. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic integration of Posner’s conceptual change approach and Genially’s interactive features, which have not been effectively applied in the context of high school physics learning. The results showed that the developed media was able to significantly reduce the level of student misconceptions, with an average decrease from 10.48% to 5.24%. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test statistical test yielded a significance value of 0.042 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment values. The implication of this research is the availability of alternative digital learning media that are not only engaging and in line with the characteristics of the digital generation, but also effective in addressing student misconceptions in depth. This media can also serve as a model for developing other teaching materials on complex physics topics prone to misconceptions.


Review

This study presents a timely and relevant investigation into addressing persistent misconceptions in physics education, specifically within the domain of linear motion. The authors' initiative to develop interactive learning media utilizing the Genially platform, underpinned by Posner’s Conceptual Change Theory, offers a promising approach to a well-known pedagogical challenge. The use of the robust 4D development model for media creation and the clear presentation of positive outcomes from a study involving 35 Grade XI students in SMAN 5 Jambi City, demonstrate a methodical and impactful research endeavor. The abstract effectively frames the problem and introduces a compelling, theory-driven solution. A significant strength of this research, as highlighted, is its claimed novelty in systematically integrating Posner’s conceptual change framework with Genially’s interactive capabilities for high school physics instruction. The reported data provides strong evidence for the media’s effectiveness, with a notable reduction in student misconceptions (from 10.48% to 5.24%) validated by a statistically significant Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test result (p < 0.05). While the abstract clearly states the application of Posner’s theory, a deeper exposition within the full paper on the specific interactive elements and pedagogical strategies embedded in the Genially media that operationalize each of Posner's four conditions (dissatisfaction, intelligibility, plausibility, fruitfulness) would further enrich the theoretical contribution. In conclusion, this research makes a valuable contribution to both physics education and educational technology. The development of an engaging, digital learning tool that demonstrably reduces student misconceptions aligns well with the learning preferences of the current generation and addresses a critical need in STEM education. The potential for this Genially-based approach to serve as a transferable model for developing instructional materials for other complex, misconception-prone physics topics underscores its broader utility. Given the clear methodology, statistically significant results, and practical implications, this study offers insightful and effective strategies for enhancing conceptual understanding in physics.
