Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the problem solving ability of harmonic motion material. Problem solving skills are one of the important components of learning. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the extent of student problem solving skills. The method used in this study is a descriptive analysis method with data collection techniques using the instrument of the description problem along with aspects of problem solving capability assessment. The subjects of this study were 24 physics education students who had obtained harmonic motion material. The results showed that students had difficulty in harmonic motion material. In the first phase of useful description, the average problem-solving ability of students was only 41.21%. The second stage of physics approach,the average student ability of 32.24%. The third phase of the specific application of physics, the average student's ability is only 14.21%. The fourth stage of mathematical procedure,student ability by 10.11%, the fifth stage of logical progession averages student ability by 2.23%. Therefore, it can be said that problem solving skills are still relatively low, so learning is needed that can improve students' problem solving skills. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the most common mistakes made by students in solving physics problems are errors in the process of conveying results and assessing solutions. Mistakes that are rarely made by students are mistakes in understanding problems by using correct representations.

Abstract

Misconception is an understanding that is believed to be correct but not according to the understanding of the experts. Misconceptions can occur because students build their knowledge gained from daily activities. This study aims to identify misconceptions about Newton's law concept and the causes of the misconceptions. The research type is descriptive quantitative. A total of 30 students of SMA Multazam IBS Semarang were given a true-false objective test and drew a style diagram accompanied by a certainty of response index (CRI). The cause of the misconception was obtained by interviewing 4 students. The results obtained were as many as 20.99% of students experienced misconceptions, 9.99% of students understood the concept, and 69.02% did not understand the concept of Newton's law concept. The most common misconception is that students think that heavier objects will fall faster than lighter objects. The cause of students experiencing misconceptions is the understanding they build themselves; students' carelessness in choosing answers; low reasoning ability; and forget the material that has been delivered.

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to improve learning outcomes and critical thinking skills of class X-K SMA Negeri 6 Semarang, through the application of adaptive teaching materials Global Warming Learning System. The learning model used is Problem Based Learning with group investigation method (cycle I) and Project Based Learning with product differentiation (cycle II). CAR is carried out in two cycles, where each cycle consists of four activities, namely action planning, action implementation, observation and reflection which adopts the Kemmis and Taggart models. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, tests, questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach based on educational outcomes and improving students' critical thinking skills. The results show that there has been an increase in educational outcomes and critical thinking skills (pre-cycle to cycle I) and (cycle I to cycle II). Evidenced by the results of studying at first cycle, which was completed by 15 students (41.67%) and the students' critical thinking skills, the average 71.59% was high category. Meanwhile the educational outcomes of physics cycle II which were completed were 28 students (77.78%) and the ability to think critically with an average 78.88% was high category

Abstract

This study discusses the development of online mechanics concept inventory (OMCI) instrument based on local wisdom. The purpose of this study to determine the quality of the online mechanics concept inventory instrument based on local wisdom. The type of this research is Research and Development (RD). The developed instrument is integrated with local wisdom, so that every item has literacy as a stimulus for the question. The concept inventory instrument is one of the test tools presented online which is used to measure students' conceptual understanding. The research model used is Borg and Gall. The instrument developed were validated by expert judgment. The results of the validation assessment are in the form of qualitative and quantitative content validity. The results of qualitative validity can be seen in terms of materials obtained on an average of 99.2%, construction is averaged 93.3%, and language is averaged 97.4%. While the quantitative analysis of validity is done using Aiken's v equations obtained an average of 0.841 of valored 0.841 is so high, it is worth being used to measure understanding the conception of learners.
