The Influences of Mathematics Ability toward Physics Learning in Senior High School Based on an Authentic Assessment System

Abstract

Physics is science which in its learning there are some products i.e. theory, fact, concept, law and formula. So that to understand physics lesson, students not only need a theory or concept but also the mathematical calculation to solve physics problem through formula or equation. It can be taken from mathematics lesson which obtained by students. The study to know the influences of mathematic ability towards physics base on an authentic assessment system. Based on the studies have been discussed, is obtained that mathematic have relatedness with learning of physics. Mathematics ability gives effect towards students’ physics cognitive aspect in Senior High School. The influences of mathematic ability toward students’ physics affective and psychomotor aspect are not known certainly, consider there are not the research which discussing that. 
