Abstract

The purpose of this research is exploring the student’s density conception as early as possible so that when heading to essential topics that involve density in physics (like statics and dynamics fluid), students can easily understand these essential topics. In general, students' concept understanding of density is already relatively high with 63,5%. There are differences between the conceptual understanding of male and female students, which the conceptual understanding of density in female students was better than male students. The notable difference between them is the understanding of the concepts relating mass, volume, and density. Some students also shown that they had not been able to understand the basic conception of the density and properties of matter. For further research, it is better to provide a short interview session and give students the opportunity to describe mental models of the properties of substances that students have understood.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of students' scientific reasoning skills in the subject of static fluids. This research was conducted through a descriptive quantitative survey. The study involved 110 high school students from Grade 12 in Malang, Indonesia, during the 2023/2024 academic year. Six scientific reasoning skill test instruments were used to collect data. The data collection was carried out using six test instruments, covering Control of Variables, Conservation Reasoning, Probabilistic Reasoning, Correlational Reasoning, Hypothetical-Deductive Reasoning, and Proportional Reasoning, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.744, indicating high reliability. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, followed by classification of skill levels based on static fluid subtopics and scientific reasoning indicators. According to the survey results, 33% of students demonstrated low-level scientific reasoning skills. Based on the static fluid subtopics, the highest to lowest scores were found in Archimedes' Principle (35%), hydrostatic pressure (34%), and Pascal's Law (31%), all within the low category. In terms of scientific reasoning sub-indicators, the highest to lowest scores were observed in Hypothetical-Deductive Reasoning (42%) and Probabilistic Reasoning (41%), categorized as moderate, while lower scores were found in Correlational Reasoning (39%), Conservation Reasoning (29%), Control of Variables (26%), and Proportional Reasoning (24%), all within the low category. The results suggest that students struggle with analyzing factors affecting sinking, floating, and buoyancy; identifying variables influencing hydrostatic pressure; and performing mathematical calculations related to force and cross-sectional area comparisons. These findings indicate that instruction needs to be strengthened to help students improve their scientific reasoning, particularly in the indicators of Conservation Reasoning, Control of Variables, and Proportional Reasoning, which remain low. To maximize the effectiveness of this research, educators should employ active learning models such as the 7E Learning Cycle Model integrated with the STEAM approach, which can directly engage students.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore and evaluate the effects of the SSCS (Search, Solve, Create dan Share) model on the understanding and mastery of physics concepts. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a PRISMA framework, involving stages such as identification, screening, assessing eligibility, and selecting final articles for analysis. Data were gathered from the Scopus, Google Scholar and Garuda databases, focusing on articles published between 2014 and 2024. The search process identified 6 articles relevant discussing the SSCS learning model and its impact on understanding and mastering physics concepts. The results revealed that the SSCS model significantly enhanced the understanding and mastery of physics concepts. Research on the SSCS model focusing on enhancing the understanding and mastery of physics concepts remains highly limited. Therefore, further implementation of this instructional model in physics education is highly recommended.
