ENHANCING STUDENTS’ PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILL BY DEVELOPING SOUND INTENSITY OF EXPERIMENT TOOL (SIET)
Abstract
EExperiments in physics learning are fundamental to facilitating students' needs to gain deeper conceptual understanding and practical skills. For schools in remote Indonesian regions, a practical and easily available tool for doing experiments in physics is necessary. A practical tool based on smartphone sensor for measuring sound intensity (Sound Intensity of Experiment Tool or SIET) was developed to improve students' problem-solving skills. SIET implementation in senior high school students moderately (N=0.7) improved students' problem-solving skills, in which the students could select the most appropriate answer, provide reasons consistent with scientific concepts, and support the argumentation for the selection of the answer.
