Abstract

Mental models have an important role in the learning process because learning in general can be seen as mental modeling. The purpose of this study is to identify students' mental models and identify the relationship between mental models and prediction ability on the topic of convection heat transfer. The sample of this study was 15 on 12th-grade high school students, 8 male students and 7 female students. The students came from three different schools, namely from Tasikmalaya district, Ciamis district, and Banjar City. Sampling was done by purposive sampling with the characteristics of students who have studied heat and students who have high cognitive process abilities in their respective schools. Data collection was done by semi-structured interviews with the type of questions in the form of content and prediction. Data analysis is done by constant comparative method. The results of this study show that there are no students who have a scientific mental model. Five types of mental models were found, including unclear model, convection is a continuation of conduction, convection that does not change density, convection for evaporation, and model 3. In addition, the relationship between prediction and mental model was classified as complex. This is due to students who predict without using their mental models. Knowing the diverse mental models of students, educators become more knowledgeable about the level of representation of each student. So that educators can prepare appropriate learning strategies in order to construct students' mental models.

Abstract

Student Worksheet (LKPD) is a learning tool that has a role in activating students in the learning process. This training aims to introduce technology that can support practicum as an optimization of the implementation of Physics practicum activities by utilizing the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application. The methods used in this activity include socialization, lectures, and discussions. Participants in this activity were Physics teachers totaling 46 people. This activity was conducted in three meetings. Participants received an introduction to the various features of the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application at the first meeting. Expert lecturers guided the trainees in the application of the tool in the second meeting. After receiving guidance, the trainees were directed to make the LKPD which would then be presented at the third meeting. This training produced six LKPDs with six different Physics materials. The results of the LKPD assessment by experts showed a very positive view of the quality of the LKPD. LKPD generated in this training is considered to have fulfilled all indicators of Science Process Skills (KPS). Through this activity, it can be concluded that the KPS-based LKPD assisted by the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application can be a practicum tool that facilitates the implementation of Physics practicum in schools that do not have or lack practicum tools. It is recommended that the use of laboratories and virtual laboratories can be conducted continuously to support Physics learning.
