Identify Hydrostatic Misconceptions Using Four Tier Diagnostic Tests With the Help of iSpring Suite 9

Abstract

The study aims to identify students' misconceptions about hydrostatic concepts using the Four-Tier Diagnostic Test with the help of iSpring Suite 9. The methods used in this study are quantitative descriptive. The population in this study are all students of Strata 1 of the Faculty of Engineering of Sheikh Yusuf Islamic University who are studying Basic Physics. Sampling in this study through pusposive sampling techniques that are subjective where the selection of samples is based on the consideration of the lecturer researcher concerned. Based on expert validation from the four tier diagnostic test assisted iSpring Suite 9, it can be concluded that the instruments that have been developed are suitable for use for research. The realibility of the question is calculated using the Alpha Cronbach coefficient and a realibility value of 0.93 is obtained. This shows that the questions used in the research are reliable. The results of the study, which identified student misconceptions regarding hydrostatics, can be concluded that there are still many students who experience misconceptions with a percentage of 70.21% on the concept of hydrostatic pressure, 40.43% on pascal's legal concept, 42.55% on the concept of Archimedes law. 46.81% on the concept of surface tension and 34.04% on the concept of capillarity. The percentage of overall misconceptions on the concept of hydrostatics falls into the high category.

Enhancing Learning Outcomes: A Study on the Development of Higher Order Thinking Skills based Evaluation Instruments for Work and Energy in High School Physics

“…Based on the calculation of the score of 20 questions, an average percentage of 82% of the product being developed is obtained. This shows that students gave a positive response to the HOTbased evaluation instrument in learning physics on work and energy in high school (Dewi et al, 2023;Juita et al, 2023). Based on the conclusions from the expert assessment and student responses, it can be concluded that the HOT-based evaluation instrument in learning physics on work and energy in high school is very appropriate to use.…”

Systematic Review of Educational Level and Evaluation Tools for Computational Thinking Skill

“…Designing evaluation tools with open-ended questions, which prompt students to articulate their thinking processes, offers valuable insights into how they approach and solve problems-a crucial facet of CT. Clear instructions are pivotal; educators should ensure that students comprehend the purpose and expectations of the evaluation tools, offering explicit guidance and examples (Akhsan et al, 2023;Alvianita et al, 2022). Lastly, regular evaluation of the tools is necessary to maintain their validity and reliability (Juita et al, 2023;Novatania & Kamaludin, 2021). This involves analyzing student responses, comparing them to learning objectives, and considering other assessment data.…”

Exploring iSpring Suite for Android-Based Interactive Instructional Media in Electrical Lighting Installation Subject

“…In addition, teachers can easily use iSpring Suite to create interactive questions or quizzes online or offline. Then, it can make it easier for teachers to measure the achievement of student learning outcomes [32].…”

“…This software can integrate PowerPoint and change the presentation format into a file in Flash format [30], [31]. In addition, this software also has advantages, including tools for making various types of questions and processing scores automatically [32]. Ispring suite has been widely used to create interactive learning media.…”
