National Physics Seminar (SNF) 2023 Surabaya State University on the Integration of Free Learning in the Era of Society 5.0 Through Physics Innovation and Physics Education Towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030

We proudly present Seminar Nasional Fisika (SNF) 2023, Department of Physics, Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa). This year, SNF, held on 26 August 2023 in Surabaya, is an essential event in our academic calendar. In our big theme, “Integration of Independent Learning in the Era of Society 5.0 Through Physics Innovation and Physics Education Towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030,” we try to explore the potential and challenges faced in achieving sustainable development through physics and physics education. The event was held via ZOOM meeting to facilitate SNF participants from within and outside the country. Participants are also unrestricted by time, accommodation, and other activity agendas.

The success of SNF 2023 will only be possible with valuable contributions from various parties. We are very grateful to our three keynote speakers, namely Prof. Ir. Adi Susilo, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Parmin, M.Pd, and Prof. Nadi Suprapto, Ph.D., who have provided in-depth insight into the development of physics and physics education in the Society 5.0 era. Thank you also to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS) Unesa, Prof. Dr. Wasis, M.Si, who gave an inspiring opening speech.

The event was held in two sessions: plenary and parallel session. The plenary session presented three keynote speakers. The parallel sessions were attended by invited speakers and authors presenting their papers and held in eight breakout room groups. As a scientific forum, SNF 2023 was attended by 443 participants consisting of students, teachers, lecturers, engineers, and practitioners who participated both as presenters and participants. The SNF 2023 aims to share ideas and knowledge and build collaboration. We received 81 papers selected for publication in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series with a scope of physics and related fields. In this volume, we accepted 52 papers for publication after fulfilling the scope, checking for originality, and conducting peer review. We hope this event can be a starting point for welcoming global developments. Besides, the publications packaged in this seminar will further strengthen the existence and reputation of the physics department as an educational institution that is superior in scientific publications at national and international levels. The research results must be disseminated widely to be scientifically valuable and provide practical value to society.

One of the scientific fields that can significantly contribute to technological development is physics. Physics is a fundamental science used in future technological developments in creating various super-sophisticated technologies to support the development of more modern industries. As in physics education, it is hoped that graduates will not only have physics knowledge but also skills in life, such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration through curriculum development and physics learning by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual reality (VR), Augmented reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Using various efforts such as research and technological development in Physics as well as curriculum development and physics learning to confront the era of society 5.0, we can increase awareness and improve the atmosphere for creating innovation that supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The event organizing committee and editorial team hope you enjoy reading this volume of JPCS. In addition, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the keynote speakers, invited speakers, and all presenters who have provided valuable contributions to this proceeding and the reviewers for their suggestions and constructive criticism in improving the articles presented. On behalf of the SNF 2023 committee, we thank all parties for supporting this publication. We want to invite the participants again to participate in SNF 2024, held by the Department of Physics FMNS Unesa.
