Abstract

Fisika adalah ilmu yang erat hubungannya dengan fenomena sehari-hari dan merupakan dasar dari perkembangan teknologi. Pembelajaran fisika seharusnya menekankan pengalaman langsung untuk membantu peserta didik lebih memahami fenomena alam. Akan tetapi, banyak sekolah yang belum memiliki fasilitas yang memadai untuk melakukan kegiatan praktikum termasuk SMA di Surabaya. Kegiatan ini bertujuan mengatasi keterbatasan peralatan praktikum di sekolah serta menumbuhkan minat belajar peserta didik pada fisika. Kegiatan terlaksana dengan baik dan didukung penuh oleh pihak sekolah, guru dan peserta didik. Peserta didik juga semangat untuk mencoba, mengumpulkan data dan menganalisa data hasil praktikum. Kuesioner yang diberikan di akhir kegiatan menunjukan bahwa peserta didik antusias dan merespon baik kegiatan ini. Peserta didik beranggapan bahwa pembelajaran fisika menjadi lebih menarik melalui kegiatan praktikum.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between representation competence and conceptual understanding of linear motion kinematics, by representation type and gender, among undergraduate students. A quantitative survey design was conducted with 228 students (136 male and 92 female) who had completed a basic physics course. Data were collected using seven validated essay items adapted from the Test of Understanding Graphics in Kinematics (TUG-K2) to measure students' representational competence and conceptual understanding across graphical, diagrammatic, and verbal representations. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results showed that students' representation competence was generally moderate (mean=1.130) and differed significantly across representation types, while their conceptual understanding was relatively low (mean=0.419) and varied significantly across kinematics concepts. Although female students showed slightly higher average representation competence scores, no statistically significant gender differences were found in either representation competence or conceptual understanding. A strong positive correlation was identified between representation competence and conceptual understanding, indicating a close association between the two constructs. However, the correlational design does not allow causal conclusions to be drawn. These findings highlight the importance of explicitly integrating various representations into physics teaching to support deeper conceptual understanding in linear motion kinematics
