Abstract
This research aimed to improve studentss cognition and metacognition through kinematics and dynamics of particle experiment assissted by video recording and tracker software analysis. The research used problem solving learning model which developed using R & D method with 4-D steps, they are define, design, develop, and disseminate. The research involved 86 physics education students academic year 2013/2014 at one of the universities in Medan. The research method is quasi-experimental using randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental class used problem solving learning model assisted by video recording and the control class used direct learning model. The cognition data were collected using multiple-choice test and meta-cognition data were collected using essay test. The studentss cognition and metacognition improvement characterized by the normalized gain score. The research result show that the use of video recording and tracker software analysis was improve the students cognition and metacognition in Kinematics and Dynamics topic in moderate category.
Highlights
Physics learning at classroom, whether for based level to higher level education faced some problems
The aim of the research is to develop the Physics learning model based on problem solving to increase the student cognition and metacognition
The cognition test is multiple choices which consist of 20 items of kinematics particle topic and 20 items of dynamic particle topic
Summary
Physics learning at classroom, whether for based level to higher level education faced some problems. Managing the learning activity to fulfill the principles of better teaching and learning in higher education such as students centered learning, learning by doing, autonomous learning, as well as cooperative learning. In accordance to the principles, the learning activity is expected focused on lecturer activities but the students activities in their learning process, especially in General Physics subject. General Physics is one of compulsory subject for physics teacher candidate in higher education. The subject is given at the first semester since the subject is a pre requirement to the semester program This subject is the basis of the development of the engineering, design, planning, and technology. If the student does not master it well, it is very possible for them to have difficulty attended the lectures in the semester
