Application of Probing Prompting Method in Physics Course

Abstract

Abstract The aims to determine research are: (1) The Application of probing prompting methods on physic; (2) The Positive impact of using probing prompting methods on physic; and (3) The Weaknesses found in the application of probing prompting methods on physics. This research used an experiment approach. These researches were located in Universitas Hamzanwadi. The time of the research was held from April to May 2019. The population in this research were second students of Informatics Education Program, while the sample was students of Informatics Education Program who were taking physics courses students totalling 48 peoples. The data collection techniques used is observation and final grade calculation. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that: (1) The application of probing prompting methods on physics learning starts from the assignment phase, the implementation and accountability of the tasks that have been made; (2) The positive impact of using probing prompting methods on physics learning includes: increasing student creativity, fostering student responsibility, improving students’ physics skills, and providing new experiences to students; (3) Weaknesses found in the application of probing prompting methods on physics learning appear in the lack of student participation, difficulty in controlling and supervising tasks done by students, different levels of student intelligence, and limited supporting capacity or infrastructure available on campus.
