The implementation of project-based learning to enhance the technological-content-knowledge for pre-service physics teacher in ICT courses

Abstract

The pre-service teachers must be prepared to integrate technology into classroom learning. This technical capability must be adapted to the material to be taught. Material for physics has a different character, especially in the selection of media. Media on one material is not necessarily suitable for other materials. The pre-service physics teacher must have the ability to analyze content and find appropriate technology in making media. This study was aimed to implement project learning for ICT based learning in physics courses for a pre-service physics teacher. This research can be used to see how significant Technological-Content-Knowledge (TCK) pre-service physics teacher is through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). This PjBL is applied to the undergraduate pre-service physics teacher level. All students participated in full lectures for 16 meetings, which were combined between the explanation of topic matter guidance and progress report. The lecturer will give feedback to all students. The data taken is the initial ability of students, evaluation of progress reports, and project output of each student. The results obtained were students’ pre-service physics teacher had a portfolio and an increase in TCK pre-service physics teachers were initially students were still having difficulties in applying technology with physics content.
