This research was conducted to develop a computer-assisted recitation program on statics fluid topics The type of research used is R & D (Research and Development) by adapting the Four-D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) developed by Thiagarajan, but the research carried out is limited to the develop stage. The product has been validated by 2 media experts in the field of physics education. The feasibility test was carried out on 97 students who took Basic Physics I courses. Based on the results of validation by experts, the average value was 3.74 for content validation and 3.56 for product validation with valid criteria. The feasibility test obtained a proportion of 92.58% in the eligible criteria.
A computer-assisted recitation program has been developed to improve students’ conceptual understanding in static fluid materials. This program consists of 68 multiple choice questions with direct feedback. This research aims to test the effectiveness of computer-assisted recitation programs in improving conceptual understanding. This research is an experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects consisted of 138 first-year physics students who were taking the Basic Physics I. The research instrument consisted of 12 reasoned multiple choice questions. Data analysis was performed using paired sample t-test, N-gain, and d-effect size. The results of the study found that the recitation program could significantly improve students’ conceptual understanding with N-gain of 0.46 (upper medium category) and a d-effect size of 1.80 (very strong category). However, we still found difficulties for students, especially in comparing the magnitude of the Archimedes force on identical blocks in different fluids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
