Mentari Azrina Shalsabilla — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

21st-century education demands adaptive, critical, and innovative students, in line with the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes essential competencies and the Pancasila Student Profile. However, preliminary learning at SMAN 1 2X11 Enam Lingkung revealed several obstacles in physics learning. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in electronic Student Worksheets (E-SWS) is still low, students have difficulty understanding measurement material, low interest in reading discourse questions, and students' creative thinking skills are relatively low. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis to describe, summarize, and present data without generalization. The focus of the analysis includes frequency distribution, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), and measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation). The results of the analysis show that the current SWS is less attractive, is still in printed form, and does not facilitate the development of students' knowledge and creative thinking. Teacher questionnaires also indicate that they have not used electronic SWS and have not integrated ethnoscience and fun learning. Furthermore, the problem regarding the analysis of the context of SWS in real conditions with ideal conditions with an average score of 40% which is still in the low category, students' understanding of the measurement material is very low, with an average score of only 34.16%. Analysis of 31 students shows an average score of the knowledge aspect of 66.1% (mode 55, median 70, distance 100), and the creative thinking ability aspect of 55.6% (mode 50, median 55, distance 35). These data indicate that the level of knowledge and creative thinking ability of students is still low. This finding emphasizes the urgency of learning innovation to achieve the goals of the Independent Curriculum.

The development of 21st-century technology demands more interactive and student-centered learning. However, preliminary studies at SMAN 2 Painan showed that students' critical thinking skills on heat were still low. This was due to the teacher-centered learning style, which resulted in students being less active, and the media used did not support exploration and discovery of concepts. To address these issues, this study developed an interactive, inquiry-based learning media supported by Google Sites. The development process followed the Dick and Carey model, with expert validation and practicality testing on 30 students and 3 Physics teachers. The validation results showed a Cohen's Kappa value of 0.96 (very valid), while the practicality test produced a value of 0.88 (very practical). These findings suggest that Google Sites can be an effective alternative to support inquiry-based learning and improve students' critical thinking skills. Consequently, this media can be used as an adaptive and accessible digital learning innovation. However, this study was limited to a small sample size, focused on only one topic, and did not examine the long-term impact of media use.
