Abstract

This study aims to identify high school students' numeracy literacy abilities and physics learning that trains numeracy literacy. The study involved 183 students from three high schools (SMAN A, B, and C) in Nganjuk district, along with 9 teachers. Research instruments included a Numeracy Literacy Test and Physics learning response questionnaire, both validated by experts. Results showed that students' literacy skills were high (81.5%), with interpretation and integration scoring highest (90.33%), followed by information finding (77.33%) and evaluation/reflection (77.13%). In numeracy abilities, understanding scored highest (88.47%), followed by application (72.37%) and reasoning (63.9%). The reliability analysis of the research instrument showed a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.87, indicating very good internal consistency in measuring the literacy-numeracy skills of high school students in Nganjuk Regency. This high reliability value provides a strong level of confidence in the research findings, including the average literacy skills (81.5%) and numeracy (78.25%). The overall average numeracy ability was 74.91%, falling in the sufficient category. Common teaching approaches included explanation with example problems, practice questions, and practicals (55%), along with the 5M approach (observe-question-try-analyze-communicate) used often (44.4%) or always (33.3%). Popular learning models included Direct Instruction (55.5%), Cooperative Learning (44.4%), Inquiry (22.2%), Problem-Based Learning (33.3%), and Project-Based Learning (66.6%). Other models included Discovery learning, Cooperative game learning, and differentiated PjBL. In conclusion, students' numeracy literacy ability reached a sufficient level at 78.5%.

Abstract

Students frequently encounter alternative conceptions regarding physics, both before and after studying physics concepts. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the PODEW (Predict, Observe, Discuss, Explain, Write) strategy integrated with analogy-based learning in addressing these misconceptions. A mixed-method explanatory model was employed, involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using ANCOVA, N-Gain calculations, and effect size measurements. Qualitative data were obtained via interviews with selected students to provide further insights into the findings. The study involved 60 high school students from State Senior High School of Pandewu 1, with Grade 10 Science-1 (experimental group) utilizing the PODEW strategy with analogy and Grade 10 Science-2 (control group) employing the PODEW strategy without analogy. Results indicated a significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving an N-Gain score of 0.64 compared to 0.48 in the control group, indicating greater improvement in addressing alternative conceptions. Despite these improvements, some students in the experimental group shifted from scientific understanding to alternative conceptions, suggesting the need for further refinement of the strategy. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of the PODEW strategy with analogy in reducing misconceptions and improving students' conceptual understanding of Newton's Laws.
