Kesulitan Mahasiswa Dalam Memahami Konsep Gaya Dan Gerak

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemahaman konsep dan mengungkap konsepsi mahasiswa pada topik gaya dan gerak. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut digunakan 25 soal pilihan ganda beralasan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei yang dilakukan pada 46 mahasiswa (22 mahasiswa S1 fisika dan 24 mahasiswa S1 pendidikan fisika). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan mahasiswa dalam memahami konsep gaya dan gerak masih rendah. Hal ini diindikasi oleh skor rata-rata mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan kasus terkait gaya dan gerak hanya 30,35. Selain itu, respon yang diberikan oleh siswa juga menunjukkan kesulitan dalam memahami konsep gaya dan gerak, dan beberapa kesulitan yang terjadi di antaranya adalah dalam menggambarkan arah gaya normal. Siswa juga sulit memahami hukum kedua Newton karena salah menentukan arah percepatan. Dalam memahami hukum ketiga Newton, siswa salah menggambarkan diagram bebas benda (Free-Body Diagrams’) dan membandingkan gaya hasil interaksi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran perlu dirancang dengan hati-hati karena banyak siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep-konsep fisika.

The Effect of Mathematical Connections on the Mastery of Probability Material

“…(Widodo & Kadarwati, 2013) especially on material that uses a lot of mathematical calculations, one of which is probability material so that students' initial mathematical abilities are needed in lectures, this understanding is based on NCTM and in elementary and middle school mathematics about mathematical connections (Mathematical Connection) is used as a standard (Maulida, Suyitno, & Asih, 2019) so that it is interested to see its small part, namely the initial mathematical ability, in line with this (Kusmanto & Marliyana, 2014) Mathematical connection is the relationship between mathematics and several concepts of scientific disciplines so that students can solve mathematical problems. (Hardiyati, 2014), In other words, there are initial skills needed by students in completing learning, one of which is the initial mathematical abilities and these problems are found in many physics materials, where many physics studies require these initial mathematical abilities and learning difficulties usually result in misconceptions of students (Taqwa, Shodiqin, & Zainuddin, 2020).…”

Perceptions of Prospective Teachers on Basic Competencies in Science at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah

“…Prospective teachers stated that BC material connecting style and motion Enough easily proved 56.5% of prospective teachers consider that the BC easily taught, though the moment has done BC practicum more difficult for understood student. BC learning must wary of prospective teachers because potentially for raises misconception (Nasution et al, 2021;Resbiantoro & Nugraha, 2017;Taqwa et al, 2020). Difficulty teach style and motion This felt clone teacher when students expected to control or be skilled in serving the results experiment.…”

“…During become, student prospective teachers also have difficulty understanding style and motion. Taqwa and friends report exists difficulty describe direction normal style, Falling motion freedom, and Newton II law (Taqwa et al, 2020). According to student prospective teachers of madrasah ibtidaiyah competence, the easiest base is natural resource balance.…”

Development of STEM-Based Educational Games As Differentiated Learning Media to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skills

“…Science learning material has fundamental concepts and explains many phenomena in everyday life, namely force and motion. Based on research Taqwa et al (2020) The force and movement material mastered by students is very low and difficult to understand, because students' reasoning is not in accordance with scientific concepts that are connected to everyday life.…”
