Penilaian Kemampuan Representasi Grafik Mahasiswa pada Konsep Gerak Parabola Berbantuan Video Simulasi Software Modellus

Abstract

The use of graphs play an important role in the process of receiving information and taking solutions to some problems. Based on observations by researcher in class of physics education students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo, students still have difficulty in representing the graphs. This study aims to know the ability of students in graphs representation and find solutions to problems. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research by giving pre-test and post-test questions. The assessment of students’ ability to represent graphs is in the sufficient category with a percentage of 64.64%. The assessment of students' abilities to represent graphics increased by 16.36% to 81.0%. Modellus simulation videos can be used to help students improve their abilities in graph representation.
