It is generally difficult to define abstract concepts for students. However, perceptions related to abstract concepts or facts can be revealed using metaphors because people frequently express their emotions, ideas and perceptions by means of metaphors. Through metaphors, students can express what they want to say more effectively with fewer words. Metaphorical perceptions are verbal expressions of individuals related to their perceptions about the external world, and these may help them to reveal the current situation related to the concept on their minds. Energy is a complex concept since it is abstract as well as it concerns all scientific fields. The purpose of this study is to determine metaphorical perceptions of the engineering candidates about energy. The research was conducted using the phenomenological research method which is a qualitative research method. The research population consisted of 148 grade 3 students who were studying at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Engineering and Architecture during the spring semester of Academic Year in 2016-2017. Considering the results of the research, the metaphors of the engineering candidates about energy were classified in 7 categories. These categories are; energy as the reason of existence, energy as an issue of physics, energy as the base of technology, energy as the base of development, energy as a non consumable substance, energy as a consumable substance and energy as a transformable substance.

Phenomenological Research Method

AbstractThis study wants to find out how the diffusion of innovation occurs in Islamic boarding schools Sabilussalam, how these pesantren students decide to jointly use the Yaumi application. An application that provides Islamic features to support the improvement of a Muslim's worship. This study uses a phenomenological research method. Phenomenological research tries to explain the meaning of a concept or phenomenon in experience which is based on the consciousness of several individuals. In the innovation diffusion theory there are two main points, namely the diffusion elements of innovation and the diffusion decision process of innovation. The results of this study indicate that the process of acceptance and use of the Yaumi application by Sabilussalam students has passed the stages mentioned in the innovation diffusion theory. AbstrakPenelitian ini ingin mengetahui bagaimana difusi inovasi terjadi di pesantren sabilussalam, bagaimana santri-santri pesantren ini memutuskan untuk bersama-sama menggunakan aplikasi Yaumi. Sebuah aplikasi yang menyajikan fitur-fitur Islami untuk mendukung peningkatan ibadah seorang muslim.  Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian fenomenologi. Penelitian fenomenologi mencoba menjelaskan makna konsep atau fenomena dalam pengalaman yang didasari oleh kesadaran  beberapa individu. Dalam teori difusi inovasi terdapat dua poin utama, yaitu elemen difusi inovasi dan proses putusan difusi inovasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan proses penerimaan dan penggunaan aplikasi Yaumi oleh santri Sabilussalam telah melewati tahap-tahap yang disebutkan dalam teori difusi inovasi.

Students at the age of primary education are faced with a challenge in using digital technology, namely (a) the ability to sort information that is suitable for use and follow; (b) addiction to digital technology and the internet; and (c) changes in behavior and character. The purpose of this study is to identify: (a) obtaining information from digital media by elementary school students; (b) the use of information from digital media by elementary school students using; (c) the challenges faced by elementary school students in obtaining information using digital media; (d) the expectations of elementary school students regarding learning using digital media. The research method used is the phenomenological research method. The results of the research, some students use digital literacy only to find information. Meanwhile, a few elementary students have carried out the learning process in the form of products from the use of digital literacy. Digital literacy can be a suitable learning medium in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, but its use must be monitored and limited.
