Implementation of Gamma Function Learning Using Wolfram Alpha Application to Improve Visual Thinking Ability

Research findings showed that students are allegedly weak in processing visual information and understanding concepts from mathematical physics problems, including the gamma function problems. The solution offered is to utilize the Wolfram Alpha application. This research was conducted on second-year Physics Education study program students using a pre-experiment one-group pre-test–post-test research design. The test instrument used four visual thinking indicators and was classified as having a good level of reliability. Furthermore, the t-test results demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores, suggesting that Wolfram Alpha had a beneficial impact on students’ visual thinking abilities. This work also emphasizes the role of innovative digital tools in supporting quality education, as aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4).
