This study uses the method of research and development (Research and Development). The subjects of this study consisted of four validators and 16 students. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive analysis. The results of the feasibility test of the props product obtained a mean score of 3.54 with very good criteria. The results of the students' responses to the teaching aids obtained a mean score of 2.91 with agreed criteria.

This has an impact on the development of the world of education that everything must be based on technology both facilities and infrastructure. Even digital technology has entered into the syllabus of physics materials in high school (SMA). However, the development of education in Indonesia is still inferior to education in other countries. According to a student capability survey published by the Programme for international Student Assessment (PISA) in 2019, Indonesia is ranked 72nd out of 77 countries, ranking well below neighboring countries such as Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia (Maghiszha, 2019). Physics is a science that examines concepts, facts related to the symptoms of nature that occur both real and abstract. Physics is a science that examines the concepts, facts, principles and laws of nature as evidenced through a series of scientific methods (Maiyena et al., 2018). It can be said that physics is close to everyday life because it can happen at any time, such as motion, direction, and magnitude used to measure. In the world of education, physics is still a difficult subject for students, this is a classic problem of learning in school (Saputro, 2016). Based on the results of a 2017 research survey at SMA 1 Pakem Yogyakarta stated that 23 out of 32 students expressed dislike of physics subjects almost reached 72% (Yunas & Rachmawati, 2018). Physics is not only studied in theory, but must also be studied by observation of its concepts, facts and principles of nature. In the approach of physics it takes proof of concepts and facts through experimentation. In the new normal era of covid-19, most of the learning is conducted online, this is a challenge for physics teachers in conducting learning in creative and innovative ways to achieve the competence of students (Saputra & Muharammah, 2020). Without innovation in the learning process, students' interest in lessons will continue to decrease (Saputro, 2016). Therefore, teachers are required to have the ability to innovate and be creative in teaching students to be interested in what is delivered. There are various ways to attract students' attention in learning, one of which is the use of props. Props is one of the learning media designed, created, and compiled by teachers to help students in instilling and understanding the concept or principle of a lesson material. In previous studies stated that props have the effectiveness of being able to increase the learning motivation of learners (Marsella, 2017). The use of props can also develop critical thinking skills in learners, even in the learning process can help students be more active (Yunita & Ilyas, 2019). However, based on the observation of physical practicum in high school some of the tools used are still analog and manual, so the results obtained have a relatively small accuracy, and it is difficult for students to prove the concepts they have learned, one of which is in the experiments of regular straight motion experiments (GLBB). Therefore, it is necessary to have the right props, easy to understand, and attract the attention of students. brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by Portal Jurnal Elektronik Universitas Negeri Malang
