Abstract

Independence is the ability to stand alone, work and carry out activities well, the students' independence often appears including cheating, copying their friends work and much more. Motivation is a basic impulse that moves students to do something, this motivation is related to student involvement in activities in the classroom, such as the urge to do something based on certain goals. This research is an effort to improve student independence and motivation through the use of youtube videos. The result of data analysis shows that the use of youtube videos can increase independence, motivation to learn, physics learning outcomes and the ability to use measuring instruments in tenth grade of mechanical engineering, SMK Nusantara 1 Comal. The use of learning models with the help of Youtube videos can enable students to work on assigments which further can ultimately improve their learning outcomes.

Students have a variety of patterns to solve the problems associated with the concept of physics. This study aims to identify: the tendency of student representation, based on the likelihood of resolving problems of representation, pattern of problem solving in building understanding of the concept. This research is a qualitative model of grounded theory. Students are categorized understanding into the category of high, medium and low. The results showed high class students have a tendency symbolic representation, medium and low categories have the tendency visual representation of the image. Students tendency symbolic representation has a pattern of reading, analyzing, planning solutions, implement, conclude. Students tendency visual image has two patterns. The first pattern is read, to understand the problem, analyze, implement and conclude, the second pattern similar to the pattern, but the process of analyzing the first to use the concept. Based on the understanding of the concept, students high category use two patterns. The first pattern is read, to understand the problem, analyze, create solutions, concludes. The second pattern is read, understood the problem, analyze the use of the concept, planning solutions, implementing solutions, concludes. Students category're using two patterns. The first pattern is read, understood the problem, analyze and conclude. The second pattern is read, understood the problem, analyze the use of the concept, planning solutions, implement solutions and concluded. Students low category has a pattern of reading, understanding the problem, analyze and conclude.

Abstract

Effective physics learning can be designed by recognizing students' difficulties in understanding physics concepts. Students build the concept through experience gained from the environment, so that they unconsciously have the concept in accordance with the understood. Students still have difficulty distinguishing work and energy definitions in physics and in everyday life. The concept of work and energy can be understood by students if students have good analogy skills. The Brain Based Learning (BBL) model through analogy facilitates learning to improve students' thinking ability analogy. The buying and selling analogy is used to relate concepts that students have understood (source problems) to the concept of work and energy as learning goals (target problems). Quasi-experimental learning is applied to determine the analogy of students. Data were analyzed from the achievement of analogy ability test results before and after learning. The success rate of mastering students' analogy abilities is analyzed from the stages of analogy in solving problems. Achievement of pretest and posttest scores of students 'analogy abilities shows that the BBL model through buying and selling analogy can improve students' analogy skills. The average achievement of students' analogy skills at the stage of generating the analogy includes good criteria, evaluating the analogy relations stage including good criteria, understanding the analogy case stage including good criteria, and at the transfering findings, including not good criteria. The results of the analogy ability show that the BBL model through the analogy of buying and selling gives positive results on the ability of students' analogy.

Abstract

Creative thinking skill is one of the most important skills in the learning process in 21st century. Creative thinking skills influenced by student’s learning interest. Therefore, creative thinking and learning interest must be cultivated through a proper learning process. This research aims to analyze student’s creative thinking skills and learning interest through mind mapping-based creative problem solving learning models. This research method used mixed methods with a sequential explanatory design. The population of this research was all students of class X with 30 students as the sample. The instrument used an essay test for creative thinking, an interview sheet, and learning interest questionnaire. The results of the n-gain alalysis showed an increase for each indicator of the creative thinking skills with an average of 71.73 included in the high criteria. As for the percentage of student’s learning interest is 79.17% which is included in good criteria. The results of the interview showed that there was different creative thinking patterns for each category where students in solving problems tended to begin by understanding the problem, linking scientific theory with their own knowledge, then developing it based on experience and reasoning. However, seen from the answers and interview results, students with very high creative thinking skills are better at providing ideas or conclusions than students with high, medium, and low categories. The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between student’s learning interest and four indicators of creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Komposit alam berbahan dasar daun jati telah dikembangkan di Universtas Negeri Semarang sebagai bahan alternatif pengganti kayu. Bahan komposit tersebut bersifat non konduktif sehingga untuk mengamati morfologinya dengan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) diperlukan proses coating dengan menggunakan bahan konduktif seperti emas (Au) dan Palladium (Pd). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan waktu coating optimal untuk sampel komposit alam. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan variasi waktu coating yaitu 30 sampai 180 detik dengan penambahan 30 detik pada arus tetap 18 mA. Dari hasil SEM menunjukkan bahwa secara kualitatif waktu coating optimal untuk bahan komposit alam adalah 90 detik. Dari analisis EDX didapatkan penambahan waktu coating mengakibatkan penurunan persentase kandungan unsur bahan komposit alam. Hasil EDX pada waktu coating 90 detik diperoleh kandungan Carbon 10,7 %, Oksigen 1,4% dan Nitrogen 1% dan bahan pelapis Emas 85,5% dan Palladium 0,6%.

Abstract

This research aims to a11alyze the basic concepts that form a pattern of misconceptions on the rotational dyna111ics. The misconceptions formed by several incorrect patterns of concepts are remediated using a11alogy leaming method. This research is applied using the mix method (qualitative and quantitative). Quantitative data is taken using two tier diagnostic tests for pretest and posttest which consists of 10 questions. Qualitative data is taken by applying direct observations and interviews with the students. The result of the pretest showed a misconception average of 83.8%. Analogy learning process with posttest. After leaming analogy done, the result of posttest showed that misconceptions average decreased to 41.9%. With the decreasing in the posttest, the understanding of concepts average has increased from 16,2 % to 53,6 %. However, the results of this study cannot be said to be effective because there is still incorrect concept pattern from the posttest results. This is due to interest of student in physics, the student ability and the cognitive development.
