MENINGKATKAN MULTIREPRESENTASI FISIKA SISWA MELALUI PENERAPAN MODEL PROBLEM SOLVING SECARA KELOMPOK DISERTAI SOFTWARE PSIM DI SMK (Hukum Kelistrikan Arus Searah)

Abstract

This paper reports the result of study about problem solving as groups with software PSIM at vocational high school. The purpose of this research are: (1) to represent the ability of verbal, mathematics, image, and graph physics at vocational high school; (2) to examine the difference of students achievement physics between class treatment and control. This research was pure experiment by using control group pre-test post-test design. The data was collected by observation, interview, documentation and test. The result of data collection was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The students pre-test and post-test data was analyzed by normalized gain (Ng). The students achievement physics data was analyzed by Independent Samples T Test. Based on the result of data analysis, it can be concluded that: this research which using Ng analysis was knowable to improve the ability of verbal representation, matemathical representation, image representation and graphic representation of the students at vocational high school in various scores 0,452 (medium), 0,474 (medium), 0,769 (high) and 0,907 (high); the result of this research was significantly influence to students achievement and improvement.
