A Profile of Senior High School Students’ Problem-solving Skills on Dynamic Fluid Materials

Abstract

Physics learning requires problem-solving in the learning process. This research is a pre-experimental study with random samples. This research aims to find out the initial profile of high school students’ problem-solving on dynamic fluid material. The subjects of this study were 108 students of grade XI in senior high school. The problem-solving indicator used ACCES, which consists of 5 indicators. The result shows that the problem-solving abilities of high school students in dynamic fluid material still need to be improved because of several factors. Earning models and media need to be more relevant in supporting students’ problem-solving abilities. This research can be used as empirical evidence that students’ problem-solving skill in dynamic fluid material needs to be improved.
