Indonesia

Abstract

The Department of Physics Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Science Education, Indonesia University of Education (UPI), conducted Community Service (PKM) at Sekolah Indonesia Bangkok. This PKM aimed to enhance mastery of physics concepts through the implementation of "Physics is Fun" activities. These activities were designed to be engaging, employing interactive demonstrations and involving the use of contextual tools and materials. The program was attended by 25 students from junior high and high school levels, and it spanned approximately 3 sessions of 50 minutes each. Following the completion of the lessons, mastery of physics concepts was assessed by administering a posttest related to oscillation and fluid concepts. The test was voluntarily taken by 7 students, nd the average correct answer rate obtained was 71.4%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the "Physics is Fun" activities effectively enhanced mastery of concepts in oscillation and fluid topics at the Indonesian School in Bangkok.
