Kendal, 25 September 2025 — In an effort to improve the quality of physics education and to encourage the use of digital technology in school laboratory activities, a Training on the Measurement of Physical Quantities Using the Phyphox Software was conducted for senior high school students. The training took place at MAN Kendal on Thursday, 25 September 2025.
This training activity was part of a community service program carried out by a team of lecturers from the Physics Study Program, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Diponegoro University, consisting of Dr. Suci Faniandari, S.Pd., M.Si., Drs. Priyono, M.Si., and Dr. Erik Bhekti Yutomo, M.Si.
The training aimed to provide students with hands-on experience in measuring various physical quantities in a simple, accurate, and contextual manner by utilizing smartphone sensors through the Phyphox (Physical Phone Experiments) application. This application enables students’ mobile devices to function as physics measurement tools, such as for measuring acceleration, vibrations, frequency, magnetic fields, light intensity, and other motion-related phenomena.
During the training, students were introduced to the basic concepts of physical measurements, the working principles of smartphone sensors, and direct practice in using the Phyphox application for several simple experiments. The learning approach was interactive and exploration-based, allowing students to connect theoretical physics concepts with real-world phenomena around them.
