Multiple representation based physics learning to improve students learning outcomes at SMAN 3 Jember on projectile motion materials

Abstract

This research informs about multiple representation based physics learning. Multiple representation is an alternative learning strategy that is very important in physics. The delivery of material in various representations in the form of verbal, mathematical, picture and graphic will provide variations in the learning process so that it can make it easier for students to capture learning material. This is the advantage of multiple representation based learning. This study aims to analyze physics learning based on multiple representation of the learning outcomes of SMAN 3 Jember students, especially on Projectile Motion material. The type of research is quantitative descriptive with respondents consisting of 52 students of class XII MIPA SMAN 3 Jember. Respondents were given a pretest and posttest which consisted of 10 multiple choice questions including verbal, graphic, picture, vector and graphic representations. The research data obtained were analyzed by looking for the N-gain value to determine the category of increasing multiple representation based physics learning on student learning outcomes. The N-gain value obtained at 0.47 indicating that there was an increase student learning outcomes with the medium category
