“…The first twelve questions from the METCS inventory fall into the conceptual category of the microscopic structure of solids. These questions are designed to test whether the students understand the following: the structure of insulators (1,2), conductors (1,4) and semiconductors (1,6); the carriers of electric current in insulators (3), conductors (5) and semiconductors (7,8); the formation of extrinsic semiconductors (9); donor (10) and acceptor impurities (11); and the concept of holes (12).…”

“…Our second conceptual category includes seven tasks (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) that test students' understanding of the motion of particles in a solid at a certain temperature. They are related to understanding the potential energy of the constituent particles of a solid (12); collisions of free electrons in a conductor at room temperature (13) and at low temperatures (14); the motion of charge carriers without the influence of an external electric field in the conductor (15) and in the semiconductor (16); the motion of holes in the semiconductor (17) and the mobility of free electrons in the semiconductor relative to holes (18). The percentage distribution of the individual answers (A-D) to the multiple-choice questions in each of the four groups of respondents (ALL, CSC, PHR, ELC) is shown in Figure 3.…”

“…However, despite such good curricular coverage, educational research consistently identifies students' incorrect ideas , especially when it comes to microscopic models of conductivity [4][5][6][7]22,23]. When discussing students' conceptual understanding of conductivity, it is useful to introduce the following conceptual categories [3]: microscopic structure [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]; interparticle potential energy [3]; motion of particles at a certain temperature [2,3,5,14]; motion of free charge carriers in the external electric field [3,6,12,19];…”

Solid-state physics has important applications in the development of modern technologies. Although solid-state concepts, such as electric and thermal conductivity, are included in the curricula at all educational levels, even university students have many incorrect ideas about them. The incorrect ideas identified in previous studies are mainly related to macroscopic aspects of solid-state physics. With the aim of gaining a more comprehensive insight into students’ understanding of solid-state physics, we have developed a multiple-choice concept inventory on microscopic models of electric and thermal conductivity of solids (METCS). The inventory has been field-tested with a sample consisting of 233 first-year medical faculty and engineering students from the University of Rijeka (Croatia). METCS proved to have good psychometric features and it helped to uncover many incorrect ideas that have not been reported in the earlier physics education literature. The findings from this study could be a good starting point for the development of evidence-based, university-level tutorials on microscopic models of electric and thermal conductivity.

Soft skills-based learning is very important to equip vocational high school students, one of which is entrepreneurship. This research aims to develop entrepreneurship learning through the menara berkah model. This research aims to develop entrepreneurship learning through the Menara Berkah model. This research is a type of development research including pre-development stage of the model, model development, and validation or model testing stage. The research sample amounted to 25 people from two vocational high schools in Palembang and Yogyakarta. While data collection techniques using mixed methods and data analysis using statistical tests. Based on the construct of the model content assessment results obtained an average of 4.45, this score indicates that all aspects are components that are feasible to be used as material or content of entrepreneurship-based learning management models in the catering expertise competency. The Menara Berkah model is proven to be effective and applicable, with an average achievement of 4.76%, this indicates that this model can be used and can make it easier, especially in entrepreneurship-based learning. The results also show six competencies that must be possessed by students, namely: technical skills, decision making, organizational skills, marketing and financial management, risk taking, creativity, and innovation.
