The Generic Science Skill Profile of High School on Theory Momentum and Impulse

Abstract

So many jobs today require high-level skills, logical thinking, creative thinking, generic and scientific processes, being able to solve problems, and make decisions. These skills are one of the main goals of 21st-century learning. Based on the results of a survey by TIMSS (Third International in Mathematics and Science Study) students in Indonesia in the field of science are ranked 38 out of 40 countries. This study aims to describe the generic science skill profile of YPPK Teruna Bakti high school students class XI on momentum and impulse. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. Data were collected through a test method in the form of multiple-choice questions based on three of the nine generic science skills indicators according to Brotosiswoyo. The test was conducted on 35 students. The test results showed that the overall average level of mastery was 55.7%. Generic science skills per indicator, for direct observation indicators 59.5%, concept building indicators 55.7%, logical consistency indicators 51.4%. The overall average for the concept of momentum and impulse is 60%, the concept of momentum-impulse relationship and the law of conservation of momentum is 52%, and the concept of collision and application impulse-momentum is 55%.
