The purpose of thiis research is to develop multimedia with the STEM approach to stimulate HOTS on bioenergy and wind energy materials. The research and development (R&D) method uses the ADDIE design which consists of 5 step, namely: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. This article will only report the first two stages namely analysis and design. The instrument used was a product needs analysis questionnaire and a practitioner validation sheet using a Likert scale. The data source of the needs analysis phase is high school students and physics teachers in Lampung Province. Product design validation was carried out by professional physics-teacher teachers with a Masters in Physics Education qualification. Where data is collected via Google Form and analyzed using descriptive qualitative. The results showed that multimeEdia to stimulate HOTS on bioenergy and wind energy was needed in the field. Multimedia which has the potential to stimulate HOTS on bioenergy and wind energy materials consists of videos and simulation of bioenergy and wind energy plants that contain all STEM.

This research aimed to identify the misconceptions of physics teacher candidates in dynamic electrical materials using EDCT (Electric Dynamic Concept Test) instruments with CRI (Certainty of Response Index). This research included analytical descriptive research with 28 research subjects from Physics Education Departement, FKIP UST Yogyakarta. This research was conducted at the end of the even semester of 2015/2016 academic year. The instrument used in this research was in multiple choice test form with four alternative answers that have been completed with CRI. Item test was about 25 questions. The results of this study indicated that the students who mastered the concept was about 21.43%, the students who did not know the concept was about 21.43%, and the students who experienced misconception was about 57.14%.Keywords : miskonsepsi, dinamic electric, EDCT instrument, CRI.

AbstractEducation goals have evolved to emphasize student acquisition of the knowledge and attributes necessary to successfully contribute to the workforce and global economy of the twenty-first Century. The new education standards emphasize higher end skills including reasoning, creativity, and open problem solving. Although there is substantial research evidence and consensus around identifying essential twenty-first Century skills, there is a lack of research that focuses on how the related subskills interact and develop over time. This paper provides a brief review of physics education research as a means for providing a context towards future work in promoting deep learning and fostering abilities in high-end reasoning. Through a synthesis of the literature around twenty-first Century skills and physics education, a set of concretely defined education and research goals are suggested for future research, along with how these may impact the next generation physics courses and how physics should be taught in the future.

Self assessment is one form of assessment that can improve student learning outcomes. This research is a descriptive study that aims to describe in detail the achievement of competencies of prospective physics teacher students in analyzing concepts. The population in this study were physics education students and the samples were those who offered physics studies courses with a total of 30 students. Data collection was carried out for two months in a physics material study class. The research data will then be processed descriptively according to the research needs. The results showed that self-assessment was able to improve the ability of students to analyze concepts. This happens because self-assessment gives space to students to assess their abilities; know their strengths and weaknesses in analyzing concepts; find the root of their failure. Besides that model self assessment is a tool for students to communicate with lecturers to find solutions to their failures. Thus it can be concluded that self assessment is able to improve the competency of prospective physics teacher students in analyzing concepts well.

ANALISIS MOTIVASI INTRINSIK DAN EKSTRINSIK MAHASISWA CALON GURU FISIKAAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis motivasi belajar, meliputi motivasi intrinsik dan motivasi ekstrinsik mahasiswa calon guru fisika. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan wawancara dan angket yang sudah tervalidasi dan reliabel yaitu Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. Sampel penelitian adalah 150 mahasiswa yang tersebar dari semester dua, empat, dan semester enam Program Studi Pendidikan Fisika FKIP Universitas Jember, dengan Indeks Prestasi (IP) rata-rata 3,12 (SD=0,285). Data yang sudah diperoleh kemudian diolah dengan menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi belajar mahasiswa pendidikan fisika sangat bervariasi dan didominasi oleh motivasi belajar instrinsik dibandingkan motivasi ekstrinsik. Pada motivasi instrinsik kebutuhan akan prestasi yang dimiliki mahasiswa pendidikan fisika lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kriteria motivasi intrinsik lain. Pada motivasi ekstrinsik peran otoritas dari orang tua dan dosen merupakan faktor yang mendominasi motivasi ekstrinsik belajar mahasiswa. Dominannya motivasi instrinsik ini menunjukkan adanya kesadaran dari diri mahasiswa mengenai pentingnya belajar.Kata Kunci: motivasi intrinsik, motivasi ekstrinsik, mahasiswa calon guru fisikaAbstractThis study was aimed at analyzing the intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation of physics- teacher student candidates. The study used the quantitative method. The data were collected using interviews and a questionnaire that had been validated and wasreliable, namely Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The research sample consisted of 150 college students of Physics Education Study Program of University of Jember of semesters two, four, and six with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.12 (SD = 0.285). The data were analyzed quantitatively. The results show that intrinsic motivation is more dominant than extrinsic motivation in the learning processes of physics teacher candidates. In intrinsic motivation, the need for achievement of physics education students is higher than that of others intrinsic motivation criteria. In extrinsic motivation, the role of parents and lecturers is a factor that dominates the learning processes. The dominance of this intrinsic motivation indicates the awareness of the students toward the importance of learning.Keywords: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, physics teacher candidate

The purpose of this study was to describe the validity of the metacognition ability instruments which include metacognition knowledge and metacognition awareness. The metacognition knowledge instrument in the form of essay tests totaling 20 items, while the metacognition awareness instrument is the Metacognition Awareness Inventory (MAI). This study is a descriptive qualitative study to assess and obtain the quality of metacognition knowledge and metacognition awareness instruments that are valid to characterize student metacognition abilities. The instrument of student metacognition knowledge was validated by two physics educations’ experts, the instrument of metacognition knowledge was also empirically validated by involving 30 physics education students as respondents. Unlike the instrument of metacognition knowledge, the metacognition awareness instrument is only empirically validated by involving 90 students across the study program as respondents. The results showed: (1) the validator's assessment of the metacognition knowledge instrument both from the content validity aspect and construct validity was valid categorized (range of scores> 3.6) and reliable for the two components of assessment in a row namely Percentage of agreement = 97.3% and 98.6%, (2) the empirical validity of the metacognition knowledge instrument was declared valid (Pearson Correlation > rtable) and reliable (Cronbach's alpha = 0.944), (3) the instrument of metacognition awareness was declared reliable (0.6 ≤ α ≤ 1.0) although some components of the student metacognition awareness instrument are empirically declared invalid. These results indicate that the instrument of metacognition ability is valid to use in characterizing the prospective physics teacher students’ metacognition ability.
