Abstract

This article is a part of the research in designing a model of the geometrical-optics game on optics' courses for pre-service physics teachers (PPTs). This article describes the preliminary form of product, the result of validation, and PPTs’ responses to the media on two-lens system experiment (MTLSE). The validation of this media has been done according to physics subject matter, instructional media and pedagogical experts. The implementation of MTLSE using the one-shot case study design involving 25 PPTs at one of the Islamic universities in Bandung. We collected the data of MTLSE validation and PPTs’ responses through non-test techniques with questionnaire instruments. The data using quantitative descriptive analysis technique. The results of MTLSE validation can be good categorized. Besides, generally, the PPTs’ responses are good categorized toward the implementation of MTLSE on optics' courses.

Highlights

  • Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior and characteristics of light and other electromagnetic waves (Young & Freedman 2003)

  • The results of concept analysis show that in general, the concepts in the geometrical optics learning material are dominated by concrete concept labels that are defined from real optical phenomena are found in everyday life applications (Saprudin 2018)

  • The main principle of media on two-lens system experiment (MTLSE) is finding various combinations of lenses at a certain distance that can produce the sharpest image under certain conditions

Summary

Introduction

Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior and characteristics of light and other electromagnetic waves (Young & Freedman 2003). The term geometrical optics appears as a result of the critical role of geometry in analyzing how the formation of images when the light rays reflected by a mirror and refracted through lenses (Young & Freedman 2003). The results of observations at the location of the study showed that the limitations of the physics experiment tools became one of the factors that caused the two-lens system experiment not to be carried out. It creates the pre-service physics teachers (PPTs) at the research location to have difficulty in understanding the concepts in this material
