META-ANALYSIS: PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS IN PHYSICS EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse articles on the application of problem solving skills in physics education from 2019 to 2023. This analysis is expected to provide information to researchers, especially in Indonesia, on the application and benefits of Problem Solving Skills in physics education. This analysis focuses on the distribution of research locations (based on educational level, research objectives, research methods, and research results/findings). The data collection method uses the Publish or Perish (PoP) application, which consists of three main steps: identification, screening and inclusion. A total of 988 articles were found. After analysing the PRISMA 2020 model, this study decided to analyse 17 articles that corresponded to the topic set, namely the use of problem solving skills in physics education. The results of the analysis and discussion concluded that problem solving skills can be developed through different learning models that correspond to the problem solving skills indicators. The model used can be combined with methods, media, approaches, learning tools, modules or teaching materials. The majority of problem solving skills research in Indonesia in 2019-2023 was conducted in secondary schools, both junior and senior high schools.
