Trends of web-based instructional (WBI) in physics learning: a literature review

Abstract

This research provides a literature review of the trend of using websites in physics learning. The literature review was carried out by collecting 30 journals from the Science Direct and Google Scholar databases from 2019 to 2022. A content analysis method was adopted to analyze the selected articles. This review examines research that has been done on the use of websites in physics learning and categorizes them into 10 topics, namely knowledge construction, learning environment, collaborative and autonomous learning, misconception, attitude and motivation, assessment and achievement, inquiry skills, conceptual knowledge, conceptual change, and problem solving. The results show that the overall use of websites over the past few years has increased, especially on the topic of collaborative and autonomous learning, which positively impacted the physics learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, many researchers have not studied the topic of problem solving, conceptual change, and misconception. In addition, the use of websites in physics learning has become a challenge in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. These issues have huge potential for further research.
