Muhammad 2, Yulien Akhmad Zein 2 1 Physics Education Department, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan 2 Laboratory of Science Learning Technology, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan tonikus@staff.uad.ac.id PE 14 Abstract An effort to change the habit of the college students in the use of facebook has been done. it aims to change the their habit in the use of facebook, that usually used as a vent media, photo sharing, and even show off, turn it into a sharing media for physics, especially physics in Islam. The subjects of this research are the 5th semester student of Physics Education Study Program Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Yogyakarta. In one semester they were given a task to post physics content on their facebook wall with a hash tag #darikitauntukanda, once a week at minimum. At the end of the semester they must collect their post history including comments and anyone who likes their post. The result of this research is a habit of the college students in the use of facebook at a positive way, as a physics knowledge sharing media. As this research is just getting started, we expect it can be a trigger for students to be wise in using a social media. We also collect their thoughts about Syiar Fisika Melalui Media Sosial movement. Keywords: arranged, alphabetically, maximum, five, words [TNR 9, Italic] I. INTRODUCTION In the middle of 21st century, the use of internet has come out from its origin. At the beginning of internet era it used as a data exchange [1] in business environment. Then it began to spread to the academic realm as a source of information. Nowadays, the use of internet has penetrated in every part of human life. Human activity is depending on the existence of internet. Any information can be found in it [2]. The birth of social media has increased the human dependent on the internet, myspace, LinkedIn, Friendster, mig33, and so on were the first generation of social media. Twitter, Google+, and Facebook still the most used social media this day. Meanwhile, facebook has a huge number of users, about 1.5 Billion [3]. Today, Facebook users are not limited to age; kids, teenagers and even parents already have a facebook account [3]. Facebook users are dominated by teenagers, students, and college students [4]. The use of facebook in teens age is more to be a media to show who they are, to attract other people, even threat them. This phenomenon is too dangerous if not taken seriously because through facebook account anyone can recognize a person s character. Even more dangerous if they share their location on facebook then anyone will so easy to commit a crime to them. At the beginning social media is aimed to be a media to create, share, and exchange information trough a virtual groups [5] slowly become a digital diary which can be easily read by anyone. This is what we concern about in this paper. Trying to attune the college students on using social media as what it aimed for. To change the bad habit of college student in the use of social media into a worthy habit such as share a useful knowledge and information to the society. In this case, student is asked to post information about physics, especially physics in Islam s point of view. PE - 83

2 ISBN II. THEORETICAL STUDY A. Social Media Social media is the newest web technology that allows us to communicate, participate, share, and build community online, so the users can share their contents. Blog s contents, tweets, videos on youtube, can be produced and seen directly by millions of people and free [5]. Social media can be found in many forms, such as twitter, facebook, and blogs. Facebook is a type of social networking that can be a place to get a new friend around the world, and they can communicate each other. Facebook can be used to share information, photo, video, etc [6]. The main features of facebook are home, pages, and groups, with these features users can update their status, give a comment and like on the other status. Besides that, facebook has a chatting feature that allows us to chat directly with other user, share photo, make a photo album, and make a video album up to two minutes of duration and 100 MB in size [6]. B. Instructional Media Media is a tool which has capability to deliver a message [7]. According to Briggs, media is a physical tool that presents message and stimulate students to learn. Meanwhile Schramm argued, media is a technology that brings information or instructional message that can be manipulated, seen, heard, and read. Thus, instructional media is a tool that serves to convey a message of learning [8]. C. Behaviorist Learning Theory According to Skinner s behaviorist learning theory, based on the idea of operant conditioning [9], at first will be given antecedent (guide) to the student to post something about physics. Then it will create a new behavior from this guide. It can be seen from how often they post about physics on their facebook account. Finally this habit will deliver a consequence for them such as numbers of like, comments and also a discussion inside their post. This is became a reinforcement to students to post physics content. III. METHODS Among 1 semester, students who take Teknologi Media Pembelajaran subject are ask to post any physic contents in their facebook account include a hash tag #darikitauntukanda once or more a week. In the end of the semester, students must collect their post history log book, including anyone who comments on their status as well as likes them. IV. RESULT Social media has delivers a serious impact on children s growth. Information access from social media is too fast and cannot be avoided. There must be a real act to change the use of social media as a show off media into knowledge sharing media. This research is just a small step to begin, it needs support from all parties. By requiring students to post relating to physics on social media are expected to habituate them to use social media positively. Not only a private post that gain a like, but also a post about physics gains a lot of likes as shown in figure 1 below. PE - 84

4 ISBN Based on monitoring, a few students still post about physics, although the given time to is over as shown in figure 3. It shows that this method is relatively effective. Just like a child, if we want them like to read then we have to habituate them since now. In this case, if we want students to use social media positively, then we have to habituate them. Even force them to do that. FIGURE 3. STUDENTS POST AFTER THE GIVEN TIME. PE - 86

CONCLUSION Student s behavior in the use of social media (tend to be negative) can be turned into positive behavior by share a physics article. This change can be done by habituation. Although only one semester, it is expected to lead students so they can be wise in the use of social media. If many people do this method, then undoubtedly it can be a Syiar Fisika Melalui Social Media movement. ACKNOWLEDGMENT Thanks to all of our students who has posted about physics through their facebook account.
