Concept Mastery of Physical Education Students In Multiple Representation (MR) Based Three Dimensional Solid Object Motion Mechanics (3DSOM)

Abstract

Abstract Physics is a part of sciences which is most explain about nature and its phenomenon starting from anything real until anything abstract. One of the material in mechanism lecture which is considered as difficult and abstract is material of three dimensional solid object motion (3DSOM). This research aims to find out the concept mastery of 3DSOM in mechanics learning to physical education students. The subject of this research are students of 3rd semester amounted 21 people in one LPTK. The instrument used in this research is mechanics concept module of multiple representation (MR) based 3DSOM to measure the concept mastery of 3DSOM and test essay of MR based 3DSOM mastery concept which is compatible with indicator of concept understanding using Bloom’s Taxonomy Revised. This research uses quantitative and qualitative descriptive method to find out the achievement of concept mastery towards multiple representation based 3DSOM. The results of this research found that the average MR-based concept module percentage of material GBT3D 50.9% verbal, 63.6% pictures, 43.0% graphics and 72.2% mathematics which the four MR categories showed a pretty good percentage. The mean results for the pretest value of 37.4% and the average posttest value of 76.1% with the percentage of N-Gain 61.8% for the mastery of the concept of 3DSOM showed an increase. Limitation in this research is only involves one class with less number of students from one university, so that the result is not strong enough to represent the whole situation, this can becomes manner to conduct further research with larger amount of samples and different mechanics content. This research is the first which analyzes the concept understanding towards MR based 3DSOM mechanics lecture material content by analyzing the verbal, picture, figure, and mathematics skills.
