| dc.description.abstract | This research described students error and identify the cause of the students
make mistakes in solving physics problems on static electrocity. Subjects in this study
were 85 students of tweleveth grade on Islamic Senior High School 6 Jombang at
2017/2018 academic period. Interviews are conducted to eight students who became
a representative of each error to determine the causes of students error. The results of
students error identification on the subjects, among others; translation error
amounted to 42,88% which indicates that percentage of translation error include
medium error category, concept error amounted to 54,51% which indicates that
percentage of concept error include medium error category, strategy error amounted
to 15,88% which indicates that percentage of strategy error include low error
category, and arithmetic error amounted to 1,76% which indicates that percentage of
arithmetic error include very low error category. The cause of the error is identified,
among others; students are not accustomed to write things that are known and asked
questions, students do not know the purpose of the problem, students are accustomed
to answer the question of physics without converting to SI units, students do not know
the formula to be used, students are a hurry to do the work, and students are not
careful when answered the questions. | en_US |
