The Development of Students Attitude Instrument Towards Mathematics Physics Class

Abstract

Attitude in college activity in college is very important. Attitude in the course can affect the success of students in following the lecture, as well as the attitude of students in the Mathematical Physics course. To know the attitude is required an instrument. In reality, however, it is difficult to find an attitude assessment instrument for Mathematics Physics courses. Therefore, a development research that aims to develop a student attitudinal assessment instrument on the Mathematical Physics course. This type of research is a research and development (R&D) developed by Sugiyono (2016). The test was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The results of questionnaire test that has been disseminated to 46 students who have contracted the mathematical physics course were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) technique. Based on research and development result, obtained 7 questionnaire indicator consisting of 61 items of valid statement. Based on the questionnaire analysis has a good validity for each question item. Reliability coefficient of each indicator obtained is equal to 0

Students’ attitude and motivation in mathematical physics

“…The sample technique uses purposive sampling with a questionnaire as the instrument. The attitude questionnaire on mathematical physics was adopted from [15] with the Cronbach alpha value of 0.93 with 61 valid statements and seven indicators. Then for a motivational questionnaire adapted from [25], 23 valid statements and Cronbach's alpha values of 0.86.…”

“…Indicator of the Social Implications of [15] explains that the social implications of physics include attitudes towards social benefits and problems related to scientific progress and research. The attitude of students to this indicator is included in a good attitude.…”

“…The instrument used refers to TOSRA (Test of Attitude Related Science) that has been adjusted and tested for validity and relativity. Dimensions of attitude assessment are as follows [15]. The attitude of students in learning cultural values is based on the feelings or interests of students in learning mathematics physics [16].…”

“…Diketahui bahwa Proses pembelajaran merupakan kegiatan yang dirancang oleh pendidik dalam membantu siswa mempelajari suatu kemampuan atau nilai yang baru . Sikap merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi proses pembelajaran yang berasal dari dalam diri siswa serta dapat mempengaruhi keberhasilan dalam proses pembelajaran tersebut, dan proses pembelajaran selalu didukung oleh lingkungan yang baik [34][35][36]…”

Identifikasi Motivasi Siswa Sekolah Dasar Menggunakan Video Animasi Tentang Sumber Daya Alam

“…Keterampilan proses sains sangat penting bagi setiap siswa sebagai bekal untuk menggunakan metode ilmiah dalam mengembangkan sains serta diharapkan memperoleh pengetahuan baru atau mengembangkan pengetahuan yang telah dimiliki [18]. Keterampilan proses merupakan suatu pendekatan belajar-mengajar yang mengarah pada pertumbuhan dan pengembangan sejumlah keterampilan tertentu pada diri mahasiswa calon guru, sehingga mampu untuk memproses informasi dan menemukan hal-hal baru yang bermanfaat baik berupa fakta, konsep, pengembangan sikap dan nilai [19]. Keterampilan proses sains dibagi menjadi dua bagian keterampilan proses dasar dan keterampilan proses terintegrasi [20].…”
