Abstract

Physics education students' understanding of buoyancy can differ from student to student and is difficult to know accurately. Appropriate instruments are needed to diagnose the conception of physics education students. This research aims to determine how physics education students think about buoyancy by applying a five-tier isomorphic instrument. The respondents of this research were physics education students at Padang State University who had studied Archimedes' principle regarding buoyancy, totaling 135 people. The research results show that physics education students have different average percentages of correct answers regarding the number of tiers. The average percentage of correct answers in the first tier is 13%, while in the combination of tier 1 and tier 3 (two-tier) is 7%. Overall, the average percentage of correct scores based on tiers one to four (four-tier instrument) on the buoyancy concept is 4%. They are, furthermore, based on isomorphic analysis: ISO-1 = 8%, ISO-2 = 1%, and ISO-3 = 8%. These results are then classified as poor conceptual understanding because the percentage of conceptual understanding obtained is below 30%. The source of physics education students' conceptions comes from personal thoughts about 80%, from observations about 15%, and the rest from other sources.

Abstract

This research aims to develop and apply a five-tier isomorphic instrument to determine the concept of wave propagation. The research design in this study is a mixed method research design in development and implementation instrument. Quantitative data was collected on 151 students in class XII MIPA SMA Negeri 1 Jambi City using an isomorphic instrument in the form of a five-tier diagnostic test. The test instrument was first tested for validity and reliability. The validity performed includes content and construct validity. Content validity is determined based on the % False Positive (FP) and False Negative (FN), which must be <10%. Construct validity is carried out by calculating factor analysis. Meanwhile, reliability is determined based on Cronbach's Alpha coefficient with r table = 0.413 (significance level 5%). The research results show that the instrument is very valid and reliable. The average understanding of students' concepts in wave propagation material is classified in the low category because the percentage obtained is <30%, namely 16% in all four tiers. Most students' conceptions are in the category of lack of knowledge regarding wave propagation, with a percentage of 23.5%.
