Efforts to Increase Students' Learning Interest in Physics Lessons at SMPN 3 Sakti

Upaya Peningkatan Minat Belajar Siswa pada Pelajaran Fisika di SMPN 3 Sakti

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance students' interest in learning Physics at SMPN 3 Sakti, specifically in the topics of Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetism. The activity was conducted on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, involving 30 students from grade IX. Based on observations, students' interest in Physics, especially in topics considered difficult like Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetism, remains relatively low. To address this, a more engaging and practical learning approach was implemented, including experimental demonstrations and the use of interactive learning media. Students were encouraged to understand Physics concepts through hands-on activities, such as observing fluid flow and the principles of electromagnetism in everyday life. By involving students directly in experiments and discussions, it is hoped that their interest and understanding of Physics can be improved. The results of this activity are expected to positively contribute to increasing students' learning interest and enriching their Physics learning experience at the junior high school level.
