Android physics comics to train the mathematical representation ability on momentum and impulse of senior high school students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to train students’ mathematical representation abilities using the android physics comics of momentum and impulses. This research is an experimental research. This research was conducted in the 2nd semester of April 2019. Performed in the semester II on April 2019. Using 2 classes, namely X MIA 3 as comic modelling class with 22 students and X MIA 1 as comic implementation class with 24 students. The data collection instrument was in the form of a mathematical representation ability test that was tested before and after learning. Data analysis used the n-gain test to find out the increase in students’ mathematical representation ability. The results of the n-gain analysis show that the comic modelling class is mostly in the medium category, while the implementation comic class is mostly in the high category. Based on the results of the analysis it can be concluded that learning using the android physics comic’s application can improve the mathematical representation ability of students on the momentum and impulses.

The effectiveness of the use of the Android-based Carom games comic integrated to discovery learning in improving critical thinking and mathematical representation abilities

“…It is used to observe prediction and assumption of a problem using reasoning skill so that the students can understand, make, and evaluate assumptions and arguments mathematically and systematically (Cartrette & Bodner, 2010;Nor'ain Mohd & Chinnappan, 2016;Doran, 2017). In general, mathematical representation takes the form of equation and formula (Namdar & Shen, 2017) and the combination of mathematical symbols and structure which use numbers, variables, and equation (Jaccard & Jacoby, 2010;Priyadi, Kuswanto & Sumarna, 2020). This equation in physics is called physics language (Docktor & Mestre, 2014).…”

Comic Indigenous (Bola Kasti) Based Android: The Development Integrate Problem Based Learning

“…Various customs ranging from community habits or just games that are usually played are integrated to get a learning system that is easier for students. As a result, many students were helped and were more critical and understood better in explaining the learning material presented [5] [11] [10] [14]. The extent of custom that develops in the community makes educators more flexible in integrating this in learning.…”

“…The use of appropriate and appropriate criteria in the application of learning media can be used to support learning that is facts, concepts, principles or generalizations, practical and durable, easy to use by teachers, right on target and of good quality. By utilizing an android media application that can be accessed more flexibly anywhere and anytime [4], media that contains various interesting features also prevents students from feeling bored and more enthusiastic in learning [5]. The presentation of media that is easier and more interactive is an attraction and a separate strategy for teachers and students in learning.…”

“…Not limited by page and grid constraints, digital comic narratives are free to define the parameters of the story into a comic "book" (although books are used here in the loosest sense) [12] [13]. The development of a comic story line that contains the delivery of teaching material in a more attractive manner can improve students' abilities in learning [5] [8] [11]. Indigenous (bola kasti) as a habit that has existed in society can be an interesting thing to include as a source of comic storylines.…”

The effect of the use of indigenous knowledge-based Physics comics of Android-based marbles games on verbal representation and critical thinking abilities in Physics teaching

“…Digital comics are developing in the society, and therefore many people use them. Comics can be written on paper, but they can also be made by using the Internet and even be mixed with digital technology (Priyadi, Kuswanto & Sumarna, 2020). Being in the Android form facilitates students to carry them everywhere.…”
