Preliminary analysis of student worksheets development with multi-representation approach on 21st century physics learning

Abstract

The practice of learning at schools supposed to be centered on the student, collaborative, contextual, and integrated with student’s lives in the community. Facts that occur in schools, students have not fully the center of the learning process. Physics learning has been associated with real-life but yet can be solving physics problems that vary in daily life. It causes a lack of competence of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students in learning Physics. Therefore, the student’s worksheet that can help students in the learning process is needed. Student Worksheets with a multi-representation Approach can be used to help students on solving vary physics problems in daily life. The purpose of this study was to find out the preliminary analysis in the development of student worksheets with a multi-representation approach in 11th-grade physics subjects in the first semester. The preliminary analysis carried out in this study was the needs of analysis, student characteristics analysis, learning material analysis, and assignment analysis. Instruments used were questionnaire sheets and interview guideline sheets. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with research samples who are students of SMA N 15 Padang and SMA N 9 Padang. This research has descriptive data as a result.
