Abstract

This article critically examines the prevalent focus on conceptual understanding in Indonesian physics education research, particularly emphasizing abstract concepts like electricity and heat transfer at different educational levels. The author challenges the common perception that certain physics concepts, such as force, are inherently abstract, asserting that all physics concepts possess an abstract nature. The recurring choice of investigating electricity-related topics, driven by their perceived abstractness, is questioned. The author observes a consistent use of similar research instruments across primary, junior high, senior high, and university levels, raising concerns about the lack of adaptation to students’ varying capabilities of abstraction. The argument is presented for aligning research topics with age-appropriate conceptual understanding, challenging the uniformity in the development of research instruments across different educational levels. In a parallel context, the article underscores the importance of visual representation as an evaluation tool in physics education. The scarcity of research in Indonesia utilizing visual representation is noted, attributed to students’ confusion and a lack of understanding. Visual representation is posited as crucial for gauging students’ comprehension of scientific concepts, with examples given in the realms of collisions and climate changes. In conclusion, the author hopes this issue becomes a reference for future physics education research, urging researchers to delve into robust studies on conceptual understanding and visual representation. The article underscores the pivotal role these elements play in shaping the trajectory of physics education research, advocating for a more nuanced and tailored approach to investigations in these areas.

Abstract

Understanding students’ preconceptions is an important initial step towards meaningful and appropriate physics learning. Particularly in the concept of collisions, students’ understanding of collision concepts often does not align with those established by scientists. Therefore, to explore students’ preconceptions, visual representation enables students to connect their experiences with specific concepts. This aids in revealing and diagnosing students’ preconceptions. This research aims to analyze high school students’ preconceptions regarding collision concepts by examining their visual representations. The research design employs a qualitative descriptive research design with data collection methods including observation sheets and interviews. Observation sheets containing visual representations by students are analyzed using a four-step semiotic analysis approach, while interview data is analyzed thematically. Seventy-two tenth-grade students were sampled offline using convenience sampling. The research findings reveal that students’ use of visual representations indicates diverse preconceptions about collision concepts, categorizing them at the macroscopic level. This data is examined across four categories of student visuals: (1) 11 visuals that are correct; (2) 18 visuals based on the objects used; (3) 34 visuals depicting different types of collisions; (4) and 29 visuals that are incorrect.

Abstract

The theory of gas kinetics material studies objects that are abstract in nature. Therefore, its learning requires visual representations capable of visualizing these abstract objects, one of which is diagrams. The presence of diagrams in high school physics textbooks is considered important to aid the learning process. This research aims to determine the distribution of diagram categories, trends in diagram usage, and teachers’ perceptions of diagram usage in the Theory of Gas Kinetics material in high school physics textbooks with a descriptive quantitative research design. The research results show the distribution of diagram categories with the highest percentage in each analyzed book being the glossary image category, accounting for an overall percentage of 45%. The usage trends of each diagram category tend to fluctuate from year to year. Based on the findings of this research, teachers’ perceptions of diagram usage in the Theory of Gas Kinetics material have three main themes: diagrams are important as learning aids to make lessons more interesting and to represent the identity of science, especially physics; the use of diagrams depends on teachers’ needs; and diagrams help students understand the text and present physics concepts more specifically.

Abstract

Preconceptions are essential initial understandings that students possess, as they serve as the foundation for better learning. Regarding the concept of climate change, many students still harbor misconceptions. One way to identify students’ preconceptions is through the use of visual representations. The use of visual representations can unveil students’ preconceptions about abstract and complex concepts. This study aims to observe and analyze the extent of high school students’ understanding of climate change. It employs qualitative descriptive research, with a population and sample comprising 63 tenth-grade students majoring in natural sciences at a high school in Indonesia. Data collection techniques involve observation and interviews, with semi-structured interviews utilized in this study. The results reveal that students have varied understandings of the climate change concept, with many still holding misconceptions. There are three categories of climate change concepts: 1) accurate climate change concepts, accounting for 37% (23 students); 2) climate change concepts based on objects, as observed from the overall visualized images created by the respondents; and 3) incorrect climate change concepts, constituting 63% (40 students). From these categories, based on empirical evidence regarding students’ preconceptions of climate change, it falls into the macroscopic level.

Abstract

Laboratory activities have the potential to enhance engagement through observation, experimentation, and active involvement. This study focuses on developing a solar cell experiment for junior high school students. The procedures involve measuring the dominant wavelength across various visible light spectrum and exploring the relationship between wavelength and the voltage and current output from a solar cell. The results indicate a negative correlation between wavelength and voltage/current. The highest recorded voltage and current, 1.75 V and 13.9 μA, respectively, were obtained at a wavelength of 400 nm. In contrast, the light with the highest wavelength, 650 nm, yielded the lowest recorded voltage and current, which were 1.43 V and 8.7 μA. Such laboratory activities can serve as valuable tools for teachers to impart the concept of wavelength and its real-world applications to students without the need for expensive or advance tools.
