Abstract

The physics paradigm includes symmetry, optimization and unification is a unity of human life. The paradigm contributes to the development of physics education, so it has a role in providing a frame of reference in the development of good character students. Three aspects of physics education that affect human nature include (a) habits and explorative abilities of the surrounding natural environment; (b) communication and mathematical representation in step for problem solving; and (c) habit in developing problem-solving using observation and experiment tools as well as manual or digital information processing. By linking these three aspects through implementation to the learning process in the classroom and based on honesty and goodwill of individuals, students can build products to think towards good character. Rational considerations by physics thinking, always trying to be grateful and patient in every step of life by students, have a role in personal development with noble character. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
