A Study of Grade 11th Students’ Level of Representation in Physics on Light Waves Using Virtual Laboratory
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to study the level of representations in Physics regarding light radiation in Grade 11 students using Virtual laboratory. The target group in this research consists of 41 grade 11 students, in the first semester of the Academic year 2023, from an extra-large secondary school in Roi-Et province. They were selected through purposive sampling. The research tools are included: 1) Virtual laboratory lesson plans on radiation light, consisting of 6 lesson plans, totaling 12 hours, which are deemed highly suitable. 2) A level of representations in physics test, consisting of 4 questions with a difficulty index ranging from 0.46 to 0.70 and a discrimination index ranging from 0.41 to 0.83. The test’s reliability is 0.974. Statistics for data analysis include percent, mean and standard deviation.
The research analysis revealed that in the first experiment cycle, students who were able to explain the phenomena using all 3 levels of representation in physics (ALL) were 11 students (26.73%), while there were still 30 students (73.17%) who had not yet passed the evaluation criteria. In the second experiment cycle, 12 students (40%) were able to explain the phenomena using all 3 levels of representation in Physics (ALL), and 18 students (60%) did not pass. In the third experiment cycle, all 18 students (100%) were able to explain the phenomena using all 3 levels of representation in Physics (ALL).
