“…When students had to explain the difference between the weight and density of the body inserted into a fluid, they became confused and these findings supported previous findings that students could not tell the difference between density and volume (Hewitt, 1990) and could not distinguish between the mass and volume of a substance immerged into a fluid (Loverude et al, 2010). Furthermore, students struggled to distinguish between Archimedes' principle (buoyancy force) and pressure; this was also found by other researchers (Wagner et al, 2009).…”

Students often face difficulties to understand Archimedes' principle and to apply it in everyday life. It is therefore necessary to explore a different teaching approach that addresses students' visual and auditory senses in a unique manner. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using multiple representations on undergraduate physics students' understanding of Archimedes' principle. A quasiexperimental approach was employed, involving the random selection of four groups of students (experimental and control) with two iterations, each involving two groups of students. A sample of 128 students completed an open-ended questionnaire based on the Thermal Transport Conceptual Inventory, and the Fluid Mechanics Concept Inventory. Lesson plans were presented for both iterations. Quantitative analysis involved the use of t-tests to assess the comparability of the groups, prior to the intervention and ANCOVA after the intervention to determine the effect. Qualitative data analysis involved identifying and comparing themes to establish student understanding before and after the two iterations. The findings indicated that the use of six different representations did not yield a significant effect compared to traditional teaching, while the use of eight representations proved significantly effective where the static pictures were replaced by animation pictures as well as adding videos and virtual labs. Careful planning is crucial not only for selecting the most suitable representation in a particular teaching situation, but also for determining which technology to use when addressing students' understanding of Archimedes' principle.

“…Sehingga pada isomorfik 4 yang merupakan sub materi Hukum archimedes, sebagaian besar siswa masih mengalami miskonsepi. Begitu juga (Heron et al, 2003;Wagner et al, 2013;Wagner, Cohen, & Moyer, 2009) menunjukkan banyaknya miskonsepsi yang dialami oleh siswa. Banyaknya siswa yang mengalami miskonsepsi tersebut berdasarkan hasil wawancara, siswa kurang memahami fenomena dalam permasalahan yang diberikan.…”

Abstract: This study aims to explore the understanding of students' concepts based on the experience of authentic phenomenom-based learning in static fluid material. The method in this study using a mix method approach with embedded experimental model research design. The data were obtained based on the isomorphic multiple choice test and interview support. Through data analysis, the results of the calculation of N-Gain values were obtained which showed there was an increase in students' understanding of concepts in the medium category and the effect size in the low category. Qualitatively, after experiencing authentic learning based on the phenomenon of understanding concepts students experience changes that lead to understanding the correct concepts in each isomorphic.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pemahaman konsep siswa berdasarkan pengalaman authentic learning berbasis fenomena pada materi fluida statis. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan mix method dengan desain penelitian embedded experimental model. Data diperoleh berdasarkan tes pilihan ganda berbentuk isomorfik dan dukungan wawancara. Melalui analisis data, diperoleh hasil perhitungan nilai N-Gain yang menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan pemahaman konsep siswa pada kategori sedang serta effect size pada kategori rendah. Secara kualitatif, setelah mengalami authentic learning berbasis fenomena pemahaman konsep, siswa mengalami perubahan menuju pemahaman konsep yang benar pada setiap isomorfik.

Hal tersebut disebabkan karena penguasaan konsep siswa masih rendah (Wagner, Cohen, & Moyer, 2009). Penguasaan konsep merupakan suatu hal yang kompleks dan penting bagi siswa.…”

This article aims to reveal the mastery of concepts activated by respondents when answering questions related to Pascal's law and Archimedes law. This study used a survey method with a test instrument of 10 multiple choice questions on the topic of static fluids using Quizizz. The subjects used to research were physics students from semester 6 to high school students who had received static fluid material. The research was conducted online with a period of 10 days and obtained 34 respondents. The data analysis techniques used were quantitative and qualitative analysis with 51% of the results obtained showed that students were still low in mastering the concept of Pascal's law and Archimedes' law.
