Video tracker analysis: a strategy for measuring students communication and collaboration skills

Abstract

Students must have communication skills to communicate their ideas and thoughts. The communication skill of students plays a role in physics learning because it can change the learning situation in a better direction. In addition to communication skills, collaboration skills must also be owned by the students in the learning of physics, one of which is used to conduct observations in groups. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship between communication skills and students’ collaboration skills, especially in physics. This research is experimental and the sample was taken by purposive sampling technique. In the results, there is a very high relationship between communication skills and students’ collaboration. The score students’ communication skills was 0.876, indicating that there was a direct relationship between students’ communication and collaboration skills, where students’ communication skills increase with the increasing of collaboration skill. Additionally, learning used of video tracker software created new knowledge and skills.
