<p><em><span><strong>Abstract: </strong>The low understanding of physics concepts, especially in DC electrical circuits which are considered abstract material, causes students difficulty in solving various problems in learning. Various attempts were made, one of which used a representation approach. This literature review article aims to observe the implementation of multiple representations (MR) in physics learning, which is considered capable of improving problem-solving skills in learning. The results showed that students who used MR a lot in each of their learning processes found it easier to understand physics concepts and were able to solve problems than students who did not use MR in their learning process. So that MR is considered as a physics learning approach tool that is able to improve students' problem-solving skills.</span></em></p><p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Rendahnya pemahaman konsep fisika terutama pada rangkaian listrik DC yang dianggap materi yang bersifat abstrak, menyebabkan siswa kesulitan dalam menyelesaikan berbagai masalah dalam belajar. Berbagai upaya dilakukan, salah satunya dengan menggunakan pendekatan representasi.

AbstractIdentity-based research in physics education has been receiving increased attention in the past few years given the potential of identity in producing novel insights into the ways’ students engage in physics. In this study, we examined the development of preservice physics teachers’ physics identity through a specific instructional practice: a specially designed course incorporating the use of the multiple representations. Although specific programs and instructional practices have been found to influence the development of physics identity, there is no clear evidence about the kinds of instructional practices that might support its development. To examine the influence of multiple representations on each component of physics identity, we designed and implemented a physics course that used a multiple representation (MR)-based instructional approach with a group of 61 preservice physics teachers at a public university in Indonesia. Data were collected with a pre- and post-questionnaire on physics identity, a conceptual understanding test, and a post-test that examined differences between identity components before and after the course, conceptual understandings, as well as the participants’ views about the use of the MR-based instructional approach. The findings revealed a significant improvement of two components of physics identity, namely, competence and interest, and point to the potential of MR-based instruction in physics courses.

Physics Problems

Physics education essentially intends to cultivate student’s analytical and reasoning capabilities. However, this objective is hard to achieve because there are many students who facing difficulties in solving physics problems. This research was conducted to identify the types of student’s difficulties in solving momentum and impulse problems, along with the factors causing it. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach to 66 students of Senior High School 2 Makassar who had studied momentum and impulse topics. The data collection process was carried out using test and interviews. Based on the results, it can be identified that there are two types of student’s difficulties in solving momentum and impulse problems. The first type was physical difficulties which consisted of student’s difficulty in understanding the questions (26%) and student’s difficulty in determining the useable equations (25%). Then, the second type was mathematical difficulties which consisted of student’s difficulty in substituting the data to the equation (63%) and student’s difficulty in performing mathematical operations (76%). Based on interviews and analysis, it can be concluded that these difficulties was commonly faced by students while solving physics problems, including in momentum and impulse topic. Futhermore, the difiiculties were caused by several factors, namely: 1) the lack of student’s understanding about physics concepts, 2) the weakness of student’s mathematical skills, 3) the lack of physics learning process which is not honing student’s problem-solving skills and  4) the lack of student’s motivation on developing their problems solving skills in physics subjects. Thus, researchers recommend to all physics teachers in Indonesia to immediately develop or implement learning strategies or methods which are considered capable of overcome all student’s difficulties that have been found.
