ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of modern optical learning devices during the covid-19 pandemic to improve the creativity and science generic skills (GSS) of students. The learning device was developed with a 4D model which includes the stages of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The sample used in this study was a group of master's students of science education who took modern optics courses with a total of five people. Analysis of increasing creativity and GSS using the n-gain (g) test. The results of the g analysis for all aspects indicate that creativity and GSS of students have increased with high (g > 0.7) and medium (0.3 < g < 0.7) categories. These results show that the use of modern optical learning devices is effective for increasing the creativity and GSS of students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implication of this research is that the development of modern optical learning devices is needed to improve the creativity and generic science skills of students, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2023 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic requires that every employee in a university maintains his health. One of the most important body parts to maintain during this pandemic is body temperature. The purpose of this study was to develop a non-contact digital thermometer to measure the body temperature of FKIP employees, Mataram University. The digital thermometer development method starts from literature studies, tool specifications, hardware design, software design and thermometer testing to measure employee body temperature in the morning and afternoon. The results of the digital thermometer test showed that the employee's body temperature in the morning with an average of 33.36 °C and in the afternoon with an average of 33.96 °C. So it can be concluded that the Mataram University FKIP employees who came to work did not experience Covid-19 symptoms. © 2022 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
