Scaffolding computer packet instruction (SCPI) to analyze student’s problem solving performance on physics

Abstract

The development of technology could facilitate individuals to access information, solve problems and communicate. This physics education research, the author wants to convey the impact of utilization quantitatively and qualitatively scaffolding of computer packet Instruction (SCPI) on students’ problem solving performance. SCPI learning packet consists of material, Check your knowledge, feedback and evaluation buttons. The research method used is a mixed method embedded design. The participants in this study were 32 students in class X MIA 1 ISLAM PUJON SMA MALANG. Students consist of 10 male and 22 female. The study was conducted in the even semester of the 2017/2018 school year with topics of work and energy topic. Quantitative data analysis through calculation of N-gain test, effect size test and paired t-test. Based on Quantitative analysis results, the use of SCPI media could have a positive impact on students’ physics problem solving performance. This result is supported by data on the increase in pretest and posttest values. The statement was also supported by students ‘responses in filling out the online questionnaire that there was an increase in independent learning capacity after SCPI was implemented in the concept of solving students’ physics problems.
