Abstract

This study aims to identify reduction and change in students’ misconceptions about sound waves after using sound wave in computer simulation (SWiCS). This research is an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. The participants are 25 students from 11 grade [11 lanang (males) and 14 wadon (females)] with purposive sampling from one school in Karangkobar, Banjarnegara, Central Java. A multi-tiered instrument was used consisting of 20 questions. The reduction of students’ misconceptions was analysed using percentages with three categories, namely sloping, currently, and steep. While the changes by codification, which are categorised as good change (GC), bad change (BC), and no change (NC), and other distributions were analysed using Rasch analysis. The average students’ misconceptions are reduced by 88% (steep). Meanwhile, the changes in misconceptions moved towards GC (56%), BC (32%), and NC (12%). The SWiCS can decrease students’ misconceptions on the sound waves and change conceptions for the better. Keywords: Sound waves in computer simulation (SWiCS); misconception; reduction and changes

计算机模拟中的声波能降低学生的误解吗?减少和变化分析

本研究旨在探讨学生在使用声波计算机模拟后，对声波误解的减少与改变。本研究为解释性序贯混合方法设计。参与者是来自11年级的25名学生[11名lanang(男生)和14名wadon(女生)]，目的抽样来自中爪哇省班雅内加拉省Karangkobar的一所学校。采用由20个问题组成的多层量表。学生误解的减少是用三个类别的百分比来分析的，即倾斜，当前和陡峭。而通过编纂的变化，将其分类为良好变化(GC)，坏变化(BC)和无变化(NC)，并使用Rasch分析其他分布。学生的误解平均减少了88%(陡峭)。同时，误解的变化向GC(56%)、BC(32%)和NC(12%)转移。SWiCS可以减少学生对声波的误解，更好地改变观念。关键词:声波计算机模拟;误解;减少和改变
