Effectiveness Concept Attainment Tutorial Based Multi Representation of Mastery Concepts and Scientific Consistency College Student

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of multi-representation based concept attainment tutorials to improve the mastery of students’ concepts and scientific consistency. The trial was limited to 34 prospective teacher students using the matching pretest-posttest control group. The research data was collected using test and questionnaire methods with concept mastery test instruments, scientific consistency and response questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis, N-gain and t-test. The results showed that multi-representation based concept attainment tutorials included in the effective criteria in terms of the increase in mastery of concepts with a mean N-gain of 0.77, scientific consistency of students with N-gain of 0.75 and a positive response. The implementation of the Concept Attainment tutorial needs to be expanded to provide greater support with high yield criteria. Based on the things above, it can be concluded that the multi-representation based concept attainment model was developed effectively to improve the mastery of students’ concepts and scientific consistency.
