Abstract

The background of this research is the lack of competence of physics teachers in using physics KIT. This research was conducted with the hope that there will be an increase in the competence of senior high school physics teachers in West Pasaman in using the physics KIT. This research was conducted with a quasi-experimental design and one group pretest-posttest. This study has a population of all physics teachers who join physics teachers group in West Pasaman Regency. The sample was taken by using simple random sampling technique, selecting 22 teachers as representatives of the physics teachers group in West Pasaman Regency. The results showed an increase in teachers' competence in using the physics KIT after mentoring the use of the physics KIT. The increase in teacher competence can be described through the value of again, the N-gain value obtained is 0.33 (moderate). This means that the teacher's competence in using the physics KIT can increase after mentoring the use of the physics KIT.

Highlights

  • Natural science has several branches: physics, which deals with matter and its interactions (Sumardi 2002)

  • The physics learning process can be created through several activities, namely observation, practicum, and problem solving, to interpret various natural phenomena that exist in daily life (Usmeldi, 2016)

  • It is hoped that the teacher's ability and knowledge in using KIT can be better to support the physics learning process in the classroom

Summary

Introduction

Natural science has several branches: physics, which deals with matter and its interactions (Sumardi 2002). Solutions were given in the form of training on the use of KIT and briefing on the preparation of integrated Physics worksheets in scientific contexts Through this activity, it is hoped that the teacher's ability and knowledge in using KIT can be better to support the physics learning process in the classroom. In an effort to make physics learning interesting and meaningful for students, the use of integrated KIT in scientific context has an important role. This requires teachers to have sufficient ability and understanding of using KIT. Research activities on mentoring the use of integrated KIT in scientific context were carried out in order to improve teacher competence in using KIT physics through direct mentoring activities
