ABSTRACT
- This research is oriented to analyze the implementation of Tuweb and Tuton, platforms combination of emerging technologies in distance learning during Covid-19. A mixed-method study guided the research. The researcher optimized a one-shot case study for the quantitative part, followed by an in-depth interview in supporting data as a qualitative part. The research participants were 27 Master's students of Open University [Universitas Terbuka - UT] in Indonesia who joined the Diffusion of Educational Innovation course. UT fully adopts the distance education system in Indonesia. The research indicated that students' achievement in terms of gender difference, male students better than females in all components of the tutorial evaluation. All tutorial parameters significantly correlated with the coefficient correlation at moderate and high levels. These parameters have also contributed to the achievement score. In contrast, only tutorial discussion via Tuton significantly contributed to the tutorial tasks. It means the presence of Tuweb has little contribution to the tutorial tasks.

ABSTRACT
The Wademen Model was chosen to develop the Online Scientific Creativity Learning (OSCL). The quality of OSCL is measured using an expert validation sheet. Students' scientific creativity is assessed using the Scientific Creativity Test Instrument (SCTI) and then analyzed through N-gain and parametric inferential statistical tests. The OSCL has been proven effective in increasing students' scientific creativity during the Covid-19 pandemic. There is no significant difference (N-gain at a moderate level) between OSCL and Creativity Responsibility Based Learning (CRBL), except with Conventional Learning (N-gain at low level). The results of students' scientific creativity are at a high level after using OSCL and CRBL, while conventional learning is low. The OSCL can be an alternative for the scientific creativity of students in science education. Besides, OSCL facilitates the responsibility and science process skills which are characteristic of being emphasized in the learning phases. The OSCL can be a learning innovation in science education to improve students’ scientific creativity in the Covid-19 pandemic. © 2021,Journal of Turkish Science Education. All Rights Reserved.
ABSTRACT
Research will focus on generating a profile of research trends in online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main research is bibliometric. Scopus document data collection in August 2021. The 1007 document results with keywords online physics learning. Then focused on 2020 and 2021∗ as 277 document results of which these 2 years are the COVID-19 pandemic period. In general, the research results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on accelerating online learning in developing countries. Another finding is online learning which is proven to be effective for improving student learning outcomes in physics learning. Educational transformations today and after the COVID-19 pandemic can occur in online education, changes in learning from home, changes in roles, and approaches. The research implications are supported by recent research: (1) These findings will provide an empirical basis for the development of physics education research, especially online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic;(2) Deep learning system, machine learning system, and education computing can still become a research trend in current research, especially in the integration and adaptation in physics learning;(3) Retracing the trend and novelty of physics education research, especially in the physics education undergraduate program. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing.

ABSTRACT
The emergence of various web pages and social media platforms that exist in today’s digital information era makes it easy for us to access various sources of information and makes us flooded with information. This condition has the potential to result in the loss of our mental health. This is known by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an infodemic which is an excessive amount of information, both true and false, which makes it very difficult for people to find reliable news about the coronavirus, and has increased the spread of fake news, conspiracy theories, worldwide panic and confusion. WHO and all the governments of each country in the world have also carried out various efforts to break the chain of spreading fake news. But the spread of fake news around the world is faster than there is any control over it. Therefore, we need an awareness of each individual in order to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills in identifying fake news. Physics as a branch of science discipline cannot be separated from this fake news. One example of fake news about physics related to Covid-19 is the statement that the thermo gun used to measure body temperature is dangerous to human health because of its laser beam radiation. One alternative way that can be used to evaluate the truth of the news is by assessing the strength of the news argumentation. Toulmin’s argument pattern has been widely applied to analyze the quality of an argument, which can be applied in evaluating the truth of a received news content. This paper aims to provide an alternative in identifying the “infodemic” in the Covid-19 Pandemic era in evaluating the correctness of information by applying the Toulmin Argument Pattern. This argumentation pattern distinguishes three fundamental components and three additional components of a coherent argumentative discourse. The main framework of this pattern in analyzing arguments consists of three main components: claim, data, and warrant. Where data provides the basis for determining claims, warrant acts as a logical reasoning bridge that connects data and claims. Three additional components can be added to construct a more complex pattern for analyzing arguments: backings, qualifiers, and rebuttals. Where backing is the part that provides additional evidence to strengthen the warrant, Qualifiers indicate the strength provided by the warrant in relating data to claims, while rebuttals indicate circumstances where the warrant in this condition is no longer valid so that the claim can be rejected.
ABSTRACT
One of the studies in the physics education curriculum at the undergraduate level is the philosophy of science (POS). This study aims to analyse the university students' understanding of the concept of epistemology, ontology, and axiology. As the situation of COVID-19 pandemic, an online survey design was utilised in this research. The participants included 89 students who were majoring in Physics Education at a public university in Surabaya Indonesia. In the duration of the Spring Semester 2020, the research was conducted by giving an online test containing statements with a value range of one to ten and a questionnaire with one to five Likert scale. The data obtained were then analysed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to achieve the results of the students' perception of the philosophy of science. The findings indicated it was about 22% of the total participants had a lack of understanding of epistemological studies. Meanwhile, a total of 14.3% of them had a lack of understanding of the concept of ontology. The best result was the understanding of the concept of axiology, the physics education students achieved 91.2% in a good level. Turning to the result of EFA, it stated all items developed to measure the factor behind the structure scale with loading factor more than 0.4 with the overall reliability of more than .80. These findings provide an additional treasure of previous knowledge that rarely explores the concept of epistemology, ontology, and axiology in a specific manner. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
