Learning Using Comics and Artificial Intelligence in Physics Subjects : A Review

Technological developments present a variety of forms of interactive media in physics learning. Comics and artificial intelligence (AI) are two innovative media genres that are popularly used to enhance learning. However, a general review of the learning effects of various previous researchers on the effects of comics and AI on physics learning is still limited. This literature review aims to identify the impacts and challenges of implementing comics and AI in physics learning. This literature review goes through five stages, including determining the research question, literature search, article selection, outlining the information from the articles, and literature writing. Articles are sourced from open-access databases, Scorpus, ProQuest, ERIC and Google Scholar. Articles published between 2020 and 2024 are found through searches using keywords in the abstract and title. The search results in as many as 23 articles worth reviewing. Based on the review, comics and AI have proven effectiveness in enhancing physics learning by increasing interest, motivation, and student involvement in learning and understanding concepts in physics. These media have great potential to support interactive and communicative learning. Both media have impacts, advantages, weaknesses, and challenges in their application. AI can give lead to plagiarism in learning, and uncontrolled comics affect students' focus on learning. The implementation of these two learning media has a positive effect on improving learning outcomes. This medium can teach complex subjects in an accessible and fun way. Comics provide interactive and communicative learning that supports independent learning for students. In conclusion, comics and AI positively impact students' physics learning. This literature review provides information about research objects, issues, and conclusions for other researchers regarding the development of comics and AI in physics learning.
