Penggunaan gambar rajah dalam menyelesaikan masalah gerakan linear

Abstract

The use of diagrams in teaching is to help students in understanding the concepts of Physics and help them to solve problems in Linear Motion. This action research aims to improve the teacher’s instruction using diagrams as well as to enhance students' ability to solve problems in Linear Motion. The study involved 29 students of class 5SNA at SMK Taman Sutera, Johor Bahru. A set of test called Ujian Kemahiran Menyelesaikan Masalah Gerakan Linear (UKMMGL) is used to measure the level of problem solving of Linear Motion before and after the teaching. The data was analyzed using percentage, mean, t-test and Pearson correlation value of 'r'. The results showed that the level of problem solving of Linear Motion increased from before teaching with mean score 33.48 to 53.31 after the instruction. The t-test analysis showed a significant difference on the level of problem solving Linear motion before and after the instruction using diagram (t = -5841, p<.05). The correlation analysis showed a low positive and significant relationship (r = 0365, p <.05) between the use of diagrams and the ability to solve problems after teaching using diagram. These findings imply that the teaching of Linear Motion using diagrams can help improve problem solving in Linear Motion. Teaching strategies that use diagrams to solve Linear Motion can be used in classroom.
