Abstract

Heat transfer material in physics is known to be abstract. This study specifically analyzes the conceptual difficulties, and visualization needs specific to this material, which is different from the analysis of physics needs in general. This analysis does not only look for the need for traditional media but explicitly looks for the need for interactive media (simulation, animation, virtual laboratory). Therefore, this study aims to identify the need for interactive learning media in physics education, specifically in the teaching of heat transfer, from the perspective of students and teachers in West Java, Indonesia. Using a quantitative descriptive survey, data were collected from 66 students and 9 teachers through an online questionnaire. The results showed that most students had difficulty understanding the concept of heat transfer using only textbooks, while students and teachers showed a strong interest in using interactive digital media. Furthermore, teachers supported the integration of collaborative learning and the POGIL approach. These findings emphasize the need for constructivist- based media to enhance understanding and engagement
