The concept of physics is indeed fun to learn but it is enough to make students feel difficult when learning every material concept. The cause is the abstract concept of physics and its complicated mathematical calculations, especially in the matter of momentum and impulses. Although several studies state that misconceptions in studying physics concepts can be overcome, they do not last long and will definitely happen again. Therefore, this study aims to identify misconceptions among high school students regarding the concept of momentum and impulse. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. The participants in this study were 37 students who were obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is the Three-tier diagnostic test which is formulated based on the indicators contained in the school curriculum used. The research data were obtained from the results of an analysis of the answers and patterns of students' answers on the three-tier diagnostic test items. The results of the study showed that it was identified that more than fifty percent of students had misconceptions.","PeriodicalId":284459,"journal":{"name":"Research in Physics Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114740510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research was conducted because there are still many students who get unsatisfactory learning outcomes in physics subjects because students think that physics subjects are difficult to understand. One of the reasons is that learning is dominated by the teacher so students do not have the opportunity to exchange ideas. In addition, students need tools to get an overview of the material presented by the teacher. So that STAD learning with the help of interactive PhET simulation can help students to improve student learning outcomes. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group.

Understanding of NoS is very important in the world of education in schools because by understanding NoS students will find it easier to understand the concept of physics in learning at school. For this reason, this study aims to determine the representation of NoS in eleventh grade high school physics textbooks for the concepts of temperature and heat using the content analysis method. The research sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique. Of all the physics textbooks for eleventh grade of high school, only 5 physics textbooks with different publishers analyzed 10 aspects of NoS. The results showed that the frequency of the appearance of the ten aspects of NoS in the five physics textbooks for eleventh grade was different. Book 1 (Erlangga) has 36.64 percent, book 2 (Mediatama) has 18.32 percent, book 3 (Grafindo Media Pratama) and book 4 (Yrama Widya) has the same percentage, namely 14.50 percent. Meanwhile, book 5 (Yudhistira) has an appearance frequency of 16.03 percent. The number of NoS aspects of the five books mostly raises aspects of social and cultural cultivation in science. On the other hand, the aspect that is not raised at all in the five textbooks above is the creative aspect. In general, the five physics textbooks that were analyzed had explicit aspects of NoS, but some were conveyed implicitly. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the five physics textbooks have not conveyed aspects of NoS explicitly, correctly and completely.","PeriodicalId":284459,"journal":{"name":"Research in Physics Education","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127067839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
