Learning outcomes of entropy concept in thermodynamics

Abstract

Abstract A short semester was an optional semester for students and the duration was eight weeks including a final exam. This research was conducted to describe student learning outcomes about entropy in thermodynamics. The research was conducted in the thermodynamics class of Physics Department Universitas Negeri Semarang 2018/2019 which was taken by 16 students as the object of this research. The learning outcomes were analyzed from data taken from final exam scores. The data were analyzed by using descriptive qualitative analysis. Based on the result, the score (student learning outcome) was 8,8 on average from the maximum score was 16. It could be concluded that thermodynamics learning outcomes at a short semester program of the entropy concept were in fair category.
