The Impact of Physics Co-curricular Activities Based on the Local Wisdom of the Makassar Tribe on Students' Scientific Measurement Skills

Abstract

Measurements in physics are vital to master because they can be the basis for analyzing the applicability of theories or laws of physics. In addition, measurements are important in developing technology and other physics solutions. This study aims to analyze the impact of physics co-curricular activities based on the local wisdom of the Makassar tribe on students' scientific measurement skills. The research method used was pre-experiment with an intact group comparison design. The subjects involved in this study were 40 students divided into two groups, namely 25 students who had participated in physics co-curricular activities and 15 who had never participated in physics co-curricular activities. The study results showed that the average score of 25 students who had participated in co-curricular activities was 75.77, and that of 15 students who had never participated in co-curricular activities was 69.62. The results of the analysis of the T-independent test showed the significance of the asymp value. Sig. (2-tailed) is greater than the significant level of α = 0.05. The conclusion of this study shows that there is no significant impact between the measurement skills of students who have participated in physics co-curricular activities based on the local wisdom of the Makassar tribe and those who have never participated in physics co-curricular activities based on the local wisdom of the Makassar tribe, but have the potential to improve physics measurement skills through physics co-curricular activities based on the local wisdom of the Makassar tribe as seen from the percentage of scores The average is dominated by students who have participated in co-curricular activities.
