Student profile multiple representations skills under the implementation of OBSIM (observation and simulation) model of teaching in improving creative thinking skills

Abstract

The research aims to explore multiple representations under the implementation of the OBSIM model of teaching in the alternating-current circuit course. This research compares the modern class (experimental class) and traditional class with the traditional teaching style. Experiment class applies the OBSIM model of teaching, and Traditional Classroom teaches in traditional style with a direct explanation. Computer simulation also integrated into this research by using Matlab Sofware as part of multiple representations, namely programming representation. This research used triangulation methods. The quantitative methods were applied to analyze student achievement tests according to Creative thinking criteria. The Qualitative method was applied using observation of student activity. Student achievement test followed by a pretest, and post-test quasi-experimental research. The data analysis form pretest and postest analysis indicates a significant value of 0.012 (p ≤ 0.05). Thus, it is a significant value, and the average of student activity in experimental class better than control class. The findings conclude that two classes have differences in terms of student multiple representations and creative thinking skills after implementation of OBSIM model of teaching.

Implementation of Animation Video Media with the help of the animeker application to Improve Student Learning Outcomes

“…If this happens continuously, it will result in poor student learning outcomes (Alfrida, 2019). The teacher as a learning facilitator must be creative so that learning is more meaningful for students and not boring (Ridlo et al, 2020).…”

Analysis of Implementation Project-Based Learning Model of Teaching Integrated with Computer Programming in Improving Computational Thinking Skills in a Classical Mechanics Course

“…Introduction of technology and make the student have critical thinking. Critical Thinking is an activity of analyzing ideas more specifically, differentiating, choosing, identifying, studying, and developing them into perfect ideas (Ridlo et al, 2020) So, at the college level, students have to know about operating a computer skills. The basic skill is operating a computer than necessary know about started from thinking about the way computer scientists think (Palts & Pedaste, 2020).…”

Investigating Multiple Representations Ability of High School Students on Linear Motion

“…Many researchers focused their study on learning methods to improve students' multiple representations ability. The learning methods were recommended because they are proven to be able to improve students' multiple representations abilities include (i) virtual concrete learning model [12], (ii) learning with simulation and observation learning model [13], (iii) learning that requires students to analyse videos about natural phenomena [14], and (iv) learning using simulation methods [15]. In addition to developing various learning models, many researchers also develop various learning media to improve the ability of multiple representations of students.…”
