This research aims to improve senior high school students’ physics problem-solving skills through learning used IBMR learning model. This research was a pre-an experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The Methods of data collection used validation and test. The materials used to teach were valid category by two experts and can be used to practice physics problem-solving skills. The average post-test score physics problem-solving ability was 73.24 with an N-gain of 0.59 was classified as moderate. The success of IBMR learning model-based devices in practicing problem-solving abilities can be seen in the increase in the average score in each indicator of problem-solving abilities. The indicator of understanding the problem had the highest post-test average score of 94.58 with an N-gain of 0.89 in the high category. The problem-solving indicator had the lowest posttest average score was 58.22 with N-gain 0.39 and mean that it was the moderate category. Based on the results study, it can be concluded that the learning used by IBMR learning model can practice the ability to solve physics problems on heat material and its displacement. Learning with the IBMR learning model was expected to train students in solving physics problems. The stages in the IBMR learning model can help students

This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ problem - solving skills based on multiple representation in senior high school. Problem - solving skills in solving multiple representation are very important in learning Physics. The subjects of this study were 101 students of class XII MAN 1 Ngawi. The method used in this research was quantitative descriptive method. Indicators of the problem - solving abilities that were used included approaches, visuals, applications, and procedures. The types of representation in this research instrument were verbal, figures, graphic and mathematic. The results showed that the problem - solving skills related to the indicator of approach with the form of multiple representation questions got percentages of 36% (verbal), 42% (figural), 24% (graphical), and 43% (mathematical). The visual indicators showed the percentages of 44, 29, 38, and 0 for verbal, figural, graphical, and mathematical respectively. Then the indicators of procedures obtained 36% for the verbal, 30% for the figures, 35% for the graphics, and 0% for the mathematics. Thus, it can be concluded that problem - solving skills possessed by students are different in terms of the percentage each indicator got in the multiple representation test.

Problem Solving Strategies

Most students experience different levels of difficulties in learning mathematics. TIMSS results have shown that most students in Ghana do not perform well in higher level tasks designed to assess applications and non-routine problems. This study, therefore, aimed at examining Ghanaian Junior and Senior High School mathematics teachers problem-solving strategies and their professional development needs about problem-solving. 114 mathematics teachers from 28 Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) in the Cape Coast Metropolis took part in the study. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The results from the study show that although teachers appreciate the importance of problem-solving in improving mathematics teaching and learning, there has not been the needed problem-solving training to support teachers in this regard. The researcher, therefore, argue that despite the numerous advantages associated with problem-solving strategy of teaching and learning, continuous professional development training for teachers should be paramount in our quest for helping students develop problem solving skills. Ghanaian JHS and SHS students can be in a disadvantageous position as they compete with their peers from other countries in international comparison examinations if our teachers are not given the needed support to become proficient in the use of problem-solving strategies in the classrooms.

Evaluation using computerized adaptive tests (CAT) is an alternative to paper-based tests (PBT). This study was aimed at mapping physics problem-solving skills using PhysProSS-CAT on the basis of the item response theory (IRT). The study was conducted inSleman Regency, Yogyakarta, involving 156 students of Grade XI of senior high school. Sampling was done using stratified random sampling technique. The results of the study show that the PhysProSS-CAT is able to accurately measure physics problem-solving skills. Students’ competences in physics problem solving can be mapped as 6% of the very high category, 4% of the high category, 36% of the medium category, 36% of the low category, and 18% of the very low category. This shows that the majority of the students’ competences in physics problem solving lies within the categories of medium and low.

Work And Energy

Abstract On the topic of work and energy, students learned the concepts of work and energy, the relationship between work and energy changes, the law of conservation energy, power, and its application in daily-life. This research aimed to identify and evaluate the achievement of physics problem-solving skills of senior high school students on work and energy topics in distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The quantitative method used was preexperiment with a one-shot case study design. The subjects were determined using the cluster sampling technique. The sample was 246 students of tenth-grade from three schools, namely in the city, middle, and suburb location in Tuban East Java Indonesia. The research results were analyzed by using descriptive quantitative. This research instrument used essay questions and teacher questionnaires. The Kruskal Wallis test showed that the mean of three schools differed significantly by 0.002<0.05. The overall students’ physics problem-solving skills on the topic of work and energy are classified as moderate. The fact of these findings suggests that students still have difficulty in useful description, physics approach, specific application of physics, mathematical procedures, and logical progression and consistent reasons. It is necessary to develop teaching materials that can train physics problem-solving skills.

Preliminary Research

This study aims to determine the profile of students' problem-solving skills and the implementation of free inquiry models in high school. This type of research conducted using preliminary research methods with data collection techniques in the form of written tests filled out by students, student interview questionnaires, and teacher interview questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The study was conducted on 30 students of class XII Science 5 of Senior High School 1 Driyorejo. The results showed that only a few students used the strategy of problem-solving skills in solving Dynamic Electric problems. Of all students studied, 16 students had moderate category problem-solving skills ranging from 1.00-1.99, and 14 students had low category problem-solving skills with a range of 0.00-0.99. The lowest problem-solving skills criteria are at point C (conceptualize the strategy). So it can be concluded that the implementation of a free inquiry learning model assisted by virtual laboratories (PhET) in schools does not optimally cause students to be inactive in class so that the problem-solving skills of students are not in the high category.
