Analysis of concept understanding and skill of problem solving on circular motion topic using Creative Problem Solving model

Abstract

Technology development in 4.0 industrial revolution era demands students to have 21st century skills, one of them is the skill to solve problems. The aim of the research is to describe and analyze the concept understanding and skill of physics problem solving on circular motion topic using creative problem solving (CPS) model. The research was conducted in one of State High Schools in Malang. The sample consisted of sixty eight students divided into one experiment class group and one control class group. The technique of data collecting used test of concept understanding in the form of multiple choices and test of problem solving in the form of problem analysis. The data analysis used two-ways anova. The result of the research shows that there are; concept understanding of students that are taught using CPS is higher than using Problem Solving (PS) model, (2) concept understanding of students who have high and low problem-solving skills that are taught using CPS is higher than using PS model.
