COMIC AS A PHYSICS LEARNING MEDIA: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
This study aims to systematically review the literature on using comic as a physics learning media. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) framework was used as a formal systematic review guideline for data collection. Data were obtained from research results during the period 2015-2024. This analysis includes a total of 27 papers from the Scopus database. Our findings show that most comics used as a media for learning physics are in digital form. The physics materials discussed include electricity, parabolic motion, momentum and impulse, force, work and energy, Newton^s laws, global warming, temperature and heat, and optical instruments. Most studies focus on the development of comics, while others focus on the effectiveness and implementation of comics in learning. Using comics as a media for learning physics can improve mathematical representation, vector representation, verbal representation, critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills, conceptual understanding, motivation, scientific attitudes, character, and cognitive achievement. Comics can also map cooperative attitudes, process skills, and motivation and train conceptual understanding.
