The influence of causalitic-learning model on problem-solving ability in terms of students’ mastery of physics concepts

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of (a) the causalitic-learning Model (CLM) on (a) Problem-solving Abilities (PSA), (b) mastery of physics-concepts on PSA, and (c) the interaction between CLM and mastery physics-concepts on PSA. This research is a quasi- experimental design with an untreated control group design with a pre-test and post-test. The population is all students of class X Public Senior High School (PSHS) 1 Narmada, amounting to 396 people. Samples were taken using cluster random sampling technique and obtained students class X-1 as the experimental class (14 men and 16 women) and X-2 as the control class (9 men and 21 women). The data were collected using a PSA test and analyzed using parametric statistics two-way ANOVA test. With a significance of 0.05 and the criteria if the sig value <0.05 then Ha is accepted, it found that: (a) CLM affects PSA (sig. score = 0.02), (b) mastery physics-concepts affect PSA (sig. score = 0.007), but (c) there is no interaction effect between CLM and mastery physics-concepts on PSA (sig. score = 0.740).

Analysis of The Need for Chemical Learning Media Based on Local Wisdom in Sitaro Islands

“…Local wisdom plays an important role in education, especially in science learning ( (Yampap & Haryanto, 2023); (Nawas et al, 2022)). In the context of chemistry learning, the use of learning media that integrates local wisdom can provide a more meaningful and relevant learning experience for students (Rahmatin et al, 2022) The current problem is that students' needs for chemistry learning media based on local wisdom have not yet become the focus of attention of educators in Indonesia (Tahya et al, 2022) Curriculum developers ensure that chemistry education can provide a deeper and more applicable understanding for students (Ginting et al, 2021).…”
