Profile of Students’ Physics Problem Solving Skills and Problem Based Learning Implementation Supported by Website on Gas Kinetic Theory

Abstract

Profile of students’ physics problem-solving skills and problem based learning implementation supported by website on gas kinetic theory. Objectives: To analyze physics problem solving skills as a consideration in the implementation of a website-based PBL model on kinetic theory of gases. Methods: The research subjects were 162 high school students in class XI in Madiun Regency based on purposive sampling. Data collection were using problem-solving skills test ACCES indicators, student questionnaires, physics teacher interviews. Data were analyzed descriptive qualitative. Findings: The level of problem-solving skills in the kinetic theory of gases is still low, 159 students in low category, 3 students in medium category. On average students only answered questions in the E-Execute the solution. Conclusion: Students are not used to solving questions with ACCES indicators. Students tend to learn by memorizing formulas. So, the website-based PBL model can be applied to improve students’ problem solving skills. Keywords: Problem solving skills, Problem based learning, Gas kinetic theory. Abstrak: Profil keterampilan pemecahan masalah fisika siswa dan pelaksanaan problem based learning berbasis website pada teori kinetik gas. Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis profil keterampilan pemecahan masalah fisika siswa sebagai pertimbangan dalam penerapan model PBL berbasis website pada materi teori kinetik gas. Metode: Subjek penelitian adalah 162 siswa SMA kelas XI di Kabupaten Madiun berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian yaitu instrumen tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah indikator ACCES, angket siswa dan wawancara guru fisika. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Temuan: Tingkat keterampilan pemecahan masalah pada materi teori kinetik gas masih rendah, yaitu sebanyak 159 siswa dengan kategori rendah dan 3 siswa dengan kategori sedang. Dari hasil penelitian rata-rata siswa hanya menjawab soal pada kategori E-Execute the solution. Kesimpulan: Siswa belum terbiasa menyelesaikan soal keterampilan pemecahan masalah dengan indikator ACCES. Siswa cenderung belajar dengan menghafal rumus. Sehingga model PBL berbasis website dapat diterapkan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah siswa. Kata kunci: Keterampilan pemecahan masalah, Problem based learning, Teori kinetik gas.
