Developing mastery of electricity and magnetic concept for pre-service physics teacher

Abstract

Abstract The mastery of concept of electricity and magnetic is ability to understand the concepts of electricity and magnetic both in theory and practice. The concept of electricity and magnetic is an important concept for students in dealing with real problems in daily life. The development of ICT in learning provides many opportunities for educators to integrate electricity and magnetic concepts in learning. The purpose research is to develop mastery of the concept electricity and magnetism pre-service physics teacher by using ICT. Utilization ICT in learning can helps students to understand abstract concepts and increase student interest in learning. The method used in this study is an experimental research design with pre-test-post-test control group design. The participants in this study were the students of physics education at a private university in the city of Palembang. The research sample is the students in 3rd semester of physics education programs. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The instrument used was a concept mastery test consisting of 45 multiple-choice questions. The results showed that the mastery of the concept of magnetic electricity for students who received ICT-based learning was significantly greater than the mastery of the concepts of students who got traditional learning.
