Physics learning requires higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical thinking and conceptual understanding. However, students’ critical thinking skills and physics learning outcomes at the senior high school level are still relatively low due to teacher-centered instruction and the limited use of innovative learning models and media. This study aimed to examine the effect of the CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending) learning model assisted by Lumio by Smart media on students’ critical thinking skills and physics learning outcomes. This research employed a true experimental design with a post-test only control group design conducted at SMAN 4 Jember in the 2025/2026 academic year. The samples consisted of two classes, with class XI Umum 2 as the experimental class and class XI Teknik 3 as the control class. Data were collected through tests and analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed significance values of 0.027 ≤ 0,05 for critical thinking skills which means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted and 0.020 ≤ 0,05  for physics learning outcomes which means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the CORE learning model assisted by Lumio by Smart media has a significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills and physics learning outcomes.

Generally, students stated that the concepts in physics, especially on the material of distance, speed, and acceleration, are difficult to understand. This causes low student motivation and learning outcomes. In order to increase student motivation, understanding of concepts, and learning outcomes, it is necessary to use visual media so that learning is active and enjoyable. The use of visual media, one of which is education game-based learning media, is very helpful for students in understanding physics concepts, especially on the material of distance, speed, and acceleration. The purpose of this study was to determine the study of the use of visual media based on education games that can improve students' understanding of the material of distance, speed, and acceleration. This research method uses the library research method. The form of research uses literature studies with qualitative data acquisition. To obtain data using two databases, namely Google Scholar and Sinta, with document analysis first carried out to identify relevant literature studies. Based on the results of the preliminary study conducted, it was obtained that the use of visual media based on education games is good and flexible. With the use of visual media based on education games, students find it easier to understand the material of distance, speed, and acceleration. In addition, it makes it easier for teachers to carry out learning activities. Learning is more interesting, students are more motivated so that students' understanding, abilities, and learning outcomes increase.

This research aims to determine whether there is a relationship between mathematics learning outcomes and physics learning outcomes by taking the subject of exponent numbers in mathematics and the subject of temperature and heat in physics. This research was conducted on class X students at SMA Negeri 6 Tangerang in the second semester. The sample was taken at simple random (cluster sampling) by taking one class from nine existing classes with a total of 30 students. The method used is a survey method with correlation techniques. The independent variable in this research is the results of learning mathematics, while the dependent variable is the results of learning physics. Before the data is analyzed, the requirements test is first carried out, namely the normality test using the Lilliefors test and the regression significance test using analysis of variance (ANOVA). From the results of the normality test for the independent variable, it was obtained that L-count = 0,08770 < 0,161 = L-table, while for the dependent variable it was obtained that L-count = 0,1108 < 0,161 L-table, so it can be concluded that the two samples were normally distributed. The results of linear regression calculations are obtained  The linearity test obtained F-count 1,067 < 2,45 = F-table so it can be concluded that the regression model is linear, meaning there is a linear relationship between the two variables. The regression significance test obtained F=count = 34,732 > 4,20 = F-table. This means that the regression model is significant. Hypothesis testing was carried out using product moment correlation analysis, then calculating the significance of the correlation using the student t-test. The results of the correlation coefficient calculation obtained r-count = 0,744 and the results of the t-student test calculation obtained t-count = 5,892, while the t-table value with a significance level of  α=0,05 and degrees of freedom (dk) = 28  was 2,05. Because t-count = 5,892 < 2,05 = t-table means Ho is rejected. So the results of this research conclude that there is a relationship between mathematics learning outcomes and physics learning outcomes. The coefficient of determination (r2) was obtained at 0,554. This means that mathematics learning outcomes contribute 55,4% to physics learning outcomes.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) on enhancing students’ problem-solving abilities in physics education. The integration of IoT into PBL is seen as a progressive approach to address the growing demand for innovative instructional strategies that promote higher-order thinking skills. A quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group format to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. The participants were 25 undergraduate physics students from the University of West Sulawesi, selected through saturated sampling due to the limited population size. To evaluate students’ problem-solving skills, data were collected using structured written tests designed around five key indicators: understanding the problem, describing the problem, planning the solution, executing the solution, and evaluating the results. Prior to hypothesis testing, normality of the data was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, followed by paired sample t-tests with IBM SPSS Statistics 23 to determine the significance of differences in pretest and posttest scores. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ problem-solving skills following the implementation of the IoT-based PBL model, with results showing significance at the 5% level and gain scores classified as effective. These outcomes demonstrate the potential of the PBL-IoT integration to foster critical thinking and improve educational quality. Therefore, the implementation of this instructional model is recommended for physics educators seeking to enhance student engagement, problem-solving proficiency, and learning outcomes through the integration of emerging technologies.    

The low level of student learning activity is often found in school learning activities, which has an impact on poor learning outcomes.

The results of the analysis of student learning activity data using the Independent Sample T-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.699 > 0.05, while the analysis of learning outcome data using the Mann-Whitney U-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.806 > 0.05. These results indicate that there is no significant difference between the two learning models in terms of their effect on student learning activities and physics learning outcomes. In addition, the analysis of student responses showed that the implementation of the STAD and TGT models received a very good response. Thus, it can be concluded that while there is no significant difference between the two models, both are effective in generating student interest and positive engagement in learning physics.
