Abstract

This research aims to analyze students' interest in learning science. The method used is a survey. Data collection techniques used interest questionnaires and interviews. The research was conducted on 409 junior high school students in Bandung, Indonesia, consisting of 201 male students and 208 female students. The research results show that students' interest in learning science is in the good enough level interest category. This research also identified factors that can influence students' interest in learning science in sequence. Five factors include teacher, family, informal learning experiences, learning experiences in the classroom, and friends. Analysis of students' interests based on gender was carried out using the Kruskall-Wallis Test. There is a difference in the average score of students between men and women, which shows that female student's interest in learning is higher. Based on student's responses to open questions and interviews, information was obtained that the reason they were interested in science was that science was material that had many practicum concepts that could be carried out, exciting learning activities, and support from parents at home. Meanwhile, the most dominant reasons they are not interested in science are the physics material, which contains a lot of calculations and the science teachers are not interesting.

Abstract

Vibration is one of the essential topics in science education. Pre-service science teachers still often experience difficulties in learning this topic. There are several previous studies related to misconceptions on the topic of vibration. However, research on misconceptions in pre-service science teachers is still limited. This study aimed to analyze pre-service science teachers' misconceptions on the topic of vibration. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research instruments include a four-tier test and interviews. The participants in this study consist of 96 pre-service science teachers from a university in Bandung, Indonesia. The results of the analysis showed that pre-service science teachers who had Scientific Knowledge were 31.1%, lack of knowledge 26.9%, misconception 8.0%, false positive 1.8%, and false negative 2.2%. The most common misconception found relates to the relationship between frequency and mass. The perception of pre-service science teachers regarding the four-tier test questions is very easy 0%, easy 6.7%, neutral 36.7%, difficult 53.3%, and very difficult 3.3%. The findings show that many pre-service science teachers still have misconceptions about the topic of vibration so lecturers should strengthen the concepts of Fundamental Physics first before students take advanced physics courses.
