Analysis of Concept Understanding and Students' Attitudes towards Learning Physics in Material of Straight Motion

Abstract

Understanding the concept and having a positive attitude towards studying physics is a requirement to succeed in studying physics. Studies have shown that students have low conceptual understanding and do not yet have positive attitudes toward learning physics. This research aims to analyze students' conceptual understanding of Straight Motion for class X, analyze students' attitudes towards learning physics, and analyze the correlation between conceptual understanding and students' attitudes towards teaching physics. This type of research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach and the population of all students of class X SMAN in Payakumbuh City and a sample of 205 students. The sampling technique used the purposive sampling technique using the Four-Tier Multiple Choice and Likert Scale. The research results revealed: Students understood the concept of 33.93% in the medium category. Students' attitudes towards studying physics are good, but the indicators of interest in increasing the time to study physics tend to be in the reasonably good category. The correlation between conceptual understanding and student attitudes with a significance value of 0.000 and a correlation value of 0.490 means that the correlation between the concept understanding variable and the student attitude variable is moderate.

Using Adobe Animate CC Software in Designing Interactive Multimedia Based on Cognitive Conflict in Straight Motion

“…One of the learning materials that is still low in understanding the concept is straight motion. In line with research conducted by Capriconia & Mufit (2022) which states that students' understanding of concepts is still low in straight motion material. Therefore, interactive multimedia teaching materials based on cognitive conflicts are needed to be able to improve students' understanding of concepts.…”

Students' Scientific Attitude in Science Learning Using Discovery Learning-Based Environmental Pollution Digital Book

“…Concepts are found and not presented at the end, but students are asked to identify what students want to know so that information searches are carried out then students organize and construct what is known to be understood in the final form. According to that (Capriconia & Mufit, 2022) students' attitudes correlate with students' conceptual understanding, Because overcoming students' understanding also overcomes the difficulties faced by students (Jamaludin and Batlolona, 2021). Based on the observation results, the average score of the value of scientific attitude aspects, namely student accuracy in the experimental class is higher than the control class, which is 76.67 while the control class is 74.67.…”

Analysis of Students' Understanding of Concepts in Straight Motion Material in Physics Learning

“…Education is carried out by every human being with awareness and purpose to achieve the goals and ideals that are dreamed of, learning has an evaluation system that is shown for children so that they can be more active and have the ability to face education in the era of globalization in order to develop children's knowledge, improve intelligence, personal values, morals and skills (Capriconia & Mufit, 2022), besides that education learns about knowledge, skills and habits that are carried out individually or in groups of people from year to year learning is carried out by means of training and research where education has an important role for human resources so that learning can be better it is hoped that it can develop attitudes, skills and intellectual intelligence of students but there are many various obstacles or problems that can be considered in an element of an educator and students as for what can be addressed effective in adding quality to education, namely by making improvements and progress, one of which is by studying physics learning (Fauziah & Darvina, 2019).…”
