Abstract

This study analyzes students’ concept understanding ability on fluid material in Kupang City and Sabu Raijua Regency. Using the descriptive quantitative method, this study involved 332 high school students in grades XI and XII of science specialization in the age range of 14-18 years, with research samples in Kupang City including 91 male students and 160 female students, while samples in Sabu Raijua Regency included 33 male students and 48 female students. The instrument, in the form of 12 multiple-choice questions based on cognitive indicators of understanding (C2), was declared reliable, with Cronbach’s Alpha 0.82 in the outstanding category. The results showed that students in Kupang City had a concept understanding level of 39.54% (less understanding category), lower than students in Sabu Raijua Regency with a percentage of 45.47% (sufficient understanding category). Gender analysis revealed that female students were superior to male students in all indicators, especially in the comparing indicator. However, weaknesses were seen in the summarising and explaining indicators in both regions. Rasch modeling analysis with the help of WINSTEPS showed variations in students’ abilities between the low to sufficient categories. The findings are expected to be a reference for teachers to design contextual, problem-based, and collaborative learning and utilize learning media to improve students’ concept understanding in Physics.

Abstract

Misconceptions in physics education pose significant challenges to student learning and conceptual understanding. This research aims to bridge gaps in understanding by systematically identifying and analyzing the diagnostics, causes, and remediation methods for misconceptions in physics among Indonesian high school students. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA method, 61 articles were selected from databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, focusing on publications between 2019 and 2024. The results reveal that static fluids emerged as the most frequently studied topic in misconception research, with common issues including the misunderstanding of buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure. Diagnostic tools were dominated by four-tier tests, which offer high accuracy and ease of analysis compared to other methods. The findings also highlight that the primary causes of misconceptions are rooted in students' intuitive thinking and teaching methods. Computer simulations were identified as one of the most effective remediation strategies, often employed alongside conceptual change texts and laboratory-based approaches. This study consolidates existing research and provides actionable insights for educators by highlighting effective diagnostic tools and strategies to design targeted interventions, foster deeper conceptual understanding, and improve learning outcomes in physics education.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan siswa SMA terhadap media pembelajaran fisika berbasis Android dalam bentuk aplikasi interaktif. Subjek dan Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan jenis survei melalui pendekatan secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis statistik deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 50 siswa dari salah satu SMA di Provinsi Jawa Barat, yang mencakup 38 siswa perempuan dan 12 siswa laki-laki. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket kebutuhan media pembelajaran, yang disebarkan secara langsung kepada responden. Hasil: Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa 48 dari 50 siswa (96%) menyatakan sangat setuju terhadap pentingnya pengembangan media pembelajaran fisika berbasis Android dalam bentuk aplikasi interaktif, karena dinilai dapat mempermudah pemahaman konsep-konsep fisika yang bersifat abstrak. Secara keseluruhan, sebesar 88% responden memberikan respon dalam kategori “sangat setuju” terhadap kebutuhan dalam menggunakan media belajar berbasis aplikasi Android dalam pembelajaran fisika. Kesimpulan: Temuan ini mengindikasikan adanya kebutuhan yang signifikan terhadap pengembangan media pembelajaran fisika berbasis aplikasi Android yang tidak hanya interaktif, tetapi juga mampu meningkatkan minat dan pemahaman siswa dalam belajar fisika.
