Abstract

Students' understanding of several topics in physics is still low. The teachers only focus on completing curriculum targets without considering their student's understanding and most of them have misconceptions. The study aimed to identify students' misconceptions of physics concepts using the five-tier diagnostic test. Data was collected once using a descriptive-quantitative method. The research sample consisted of 18 students from one of the high schools in West Sumatra. A total of 17 questions was used to identify students' understanding of Newton's law of gravitation. The results showed that students had misconceptions as follows: gravitational attraction is only caused by planets; there is no gravitational force in space, and the direction of the gravitational force is determined by the direction of the gravitational attraction by some objects; two objects have different gravitational force strengths; all planets revolve around one another, the orbit of the solar system is perfectly circular, the shape of the earth is round, and the strength of the gravitational field is affected by the mass of the object. In conclusion, the highest percentage of misconceptions occurs in the influence of the gravitational field strength, which was 23%.

Abstract

Microcontrollers are capable of digitizing conventional equipment so that it will make it easier for practitioners to carry out experiments. The aim of this research is to determine the use of microcontrollers in physical mechanics experiments using the Systematic Literature Review method. The data collected was in the form of national and international journal articles from accredited and indexed electronic databases and then extracted. The research results show mechanical experiments using microcontroller-based experimental tools, supporting sensors used in these tools, the learning models applied, learning achievements that can result from activities and the types of research used to discuss these experimental tools

Abstract

The primary aim of this research was to conduct a systematic review on the assessment of computational thinking skills. The employed research method involved a thorough exploration of diverse databases through Google Scholar, employing the keyword "computational thinking" to retrieve pertinent articles. A total of 96 articles were chosen as research samples and subjected to analysis using content analysis techniques to scrutinize education level and evaluation tools variables. The research revealed that the education level variable was classified into four tiers: elementary school (26.17%), junior high school (29.91%), senior high school (19.63%), and college (24.30%). Simultaneously, the evaluation tool variable was categorized into four segments, comprising traditional tools (22.73%), portfolios (33.33%), interviews (15.91%), and surveys (28.03%). Computational thinking (CT) is predominantly assessed among children due to their developmental stage, fostering receptiveness to novel concepts. This facilitates the teaching of fundamental CT principles, such as programming basics, logic, and algorithms. Regarding evaluation tools, portfolios are frequently employed to assess CT as they can depict a student's proficiency in solving intricate problems, showcasing evidence of their work and completed projects for a more holistic assessment
