This study reports the outcomes of comparing three methods to carry out a physics laboratory with active learning strategies: Tutorials in Introductory Physics (Tutorials) and RealTime Physics (RTP). A sample of 476 students was divided into three groups, about one third of the students used Tutorials, another third used RTP, and the last third used RTP with graphing calculators and probes. A multiple choice test was used to find that the three groups had statistically-significant differences on conceptual understanding of current concepts. Additionally, it was found differences in gains among the three groups using a multiple-choice pretest and posttest. With an analysis of misconceptions it was found that an important portion of students still holding misconceptions. The change of instruction seems to affect conceptual understanding when students have to analyze difficult circuits. Besides, it was found that students still holding misconceptions, they continue using terms like current and voltage interchangeably.

LC 5E-Analogy is related to double coding theory, information received by learner is obtained through one of two channels, where LC 5E is expected to facilitate students to obtain information from the enggament phase to the elaboration phase, while the analogy is expected to visualize the submicroscopic aspect, so as to improve understanding of concepts students. This study uses a reasoned multiple choice test instrument that has 91% content validity with a very good category and a reliability coefficient of 0.799 in the high category. The research was conducted in two classes of XI Science at SMAN 9 Malang. Analysis of the data using the Man Whitney U Test, and the Effect Size test to see the meaning of differences in understanding of students' concepts. The results showed that there were differences students understanding in both research classes, where the difference in the values of the two classes (Sig.2-tailed 0.002) and the Effect Size (d = 0.74).</p><p class="Abstract"><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perbedaan pemahaman konsep siswa pada materi laju reaksi sebagai hasil penerapan model pembelajaran <em>LC 5E</em>-Analogi.

The development of science and technology causes education to become a necessity for the younger generation. Based on the results of the survey, students analytical skills are still low, so an active learning strategy is needed that can improve students' analytical skills. Active learning strategies that can be used are Critical Incident strategies. This study aims to determine the effect of using Critical Incident learning strategies on students' analytical skills on the subject of environmental change. The research was carried out in class X MAN 9 Jakarta from March to June 2017. The research method used was quasi-experimental research design using posttest only control design. The population of this study were all students of class X MIA totaling 104 students. The data collection uses a multiple-choice test consisting of 24 items that are integrated with three types of indicators of analytical skills that are differentiating, organizing and attributing. The results showed that the average posttest value of the analytical skills of the experimental class was 64.88 while the control class was 62.49. Hypothesis testing through t-test at the significance level α = 5% obtained t count = 1.74 while t table = 1.67, because t count is greater than t table then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Critical Incident learning strategies influences the analytical skills of class X MAN 9 Jakarta students.

The concept is an understanding of an individual or a group of people who is expressed in the form of a meaning that produces knowledge. Misconceptions of students that appear continuously will interfere with the formation of scientific conceptions and can affect student learning outcomes. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the misconceptions of students. One of the diagnostic tests that can be used is a two-tier multiple choice test or known as a two-tier multiple choice, the first level is the question being tested while the second level contains the reasons for the answer to the first level. This study aims to analyze misconceptions and determine the percentage of students' misconceptions on hydrocarbon material using descriptive methods. The subjects were 27 students of class XI IPA 2 in SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang. The research instrument was a Two Tier Multiple Choice diagnostic test by dividing students' conceptual understanding into the categories of conceptual understanding, misconception, and conceptual misunderstanding. The results showed that the percentage of students' conceptual understanding in the concept understanding category was 31%, misconception was 36%, and did not understand the concept by 34% on hydrocarbon material. Students' misconceptions on hydrocarbon material at SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang were categorized as moderate. Konsep merupakan pemahaman individu atau sekelompok orang yang diungkapkan dalam bentuk pengertian yang menghasilkan suatu pengetahuan. Miskonsepsi peserta didik yang muncul terus menerus akan mengganggu pembentukan konsepsi ilmiah dan dapat mempengaruhi hasil belajar peserta didik. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan analisis miskonsepsi peserta didik. Salah satu tes diagnostik yang dapat digunakan adalah tes pilihan ganda bertingkat dua atau dikenal sebagai two-tier multiple choice, tingkat pertama merupakan pertanyaan yang diujikan sedangkan tingkat kedua berisi alasan atas jawaban pada tingkat pertama. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis miskonsepsi dan menentukan persentase miskonsepsi peserta didik pada materi hidrokarbon dengan metode deskriptif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah peserta didik kelas XI IPA 2 di SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang yang berjumlah 27 orang. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes diagnostik Two Tier Multiple Choice dengan membagi pemahaman konsep peserta didik dalam kategori paham konsep, miskonsepsi, dan tidak paham konsep. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase pemahaman konsep peserta didik pada kategori paham konsep sebesar 31%, miskonsepsi sebesar 36%, dan tidak paham konsep sebesar 34% pada materi hidrokarbon. Miskonsepsi peserta didik pada materi hidrokarbon di SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang termasuk kriteria sedang.

The purpose of this study was to determine that the conceptual understanding of math and problem solving skill of students taught using the application of active learning strategies types Inquiring Mind Want to Know better than the conceptual understanding of math students taught using conventional strategy. This research is a quasi-experimental research with the design of randomized control group only design. The populations in this study were five classes of students of grade VII SMPN 35 Padang (165 students). The choice of class random sampling (random data retrieval). Classes are chosen as experimental class is a class VII.4 and control class is the class VII.5.  Data were taken from the results of final test is a test essay from each class. Based on the data analysis of research obtained that the understanding of math concepts and problem solving experimental class students is higher than the control class. This is evident from the average value of the test understanding of concepts and mathematical problem solving experimental class students is 76,45 while the average grade control is 63,27. Hypothesis testing using t-test, obtained tcalculate > ttable   (1,72 > 1,65) with a 95% confidence level, the hypothesis is accepted. So it can be concluded that the understanding of math concepts and problem solving students who apply active learning strategies types “Inquiring Mind Want to Know” better than on understanding math concepts and problem solving students using conventional teaching in class VII SMPN 35 Padang.Keywords: Active learning strategies types Inquiring Mind Want to Know, understanding math concepts, and problem solving
