Profile of pre-service physics teachers’ decision-making skills related to electric circuit

Abstract

Higher education is a process of developing human resources that master various skills needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century. One of the important skills to have in order to compete in facing the challenges of the 21st century is the decision-making skills. This study aims at describing the profile of pre-service physics teachers’ decision-making skills related to electric circuit. This research is a descriptive research conducted in the physics education program at one of the private universities in Jakarta. Data collection is done through the test of decision-making skills related to electric circuit. The collected data is analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that 0% of students were in the category of high decision-making skills, 20% on moderate decision-making skills, and 80% on low decision-making skills. Thus, the decision-making skills of pre-service physics teachers still belong to low category.
