Analysis of Student Concepts Understanding in Solving Scientific Literacy on the Topic of Momentum and Impulse

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' concepts understanding in solving scientific literacy on the topic of momentum and impulses. The subjects in this study were 124 students from 4 senior high schools in Sragen. The instrument used in this study was 10 questions in the form of an essay test. The results of the analysis show that 70 (56.45%) of students have conceptual understanding in solving scientific literacy competencies as interpreting scientific data on the subtopic of conservation of momentum and collisions, 30 (24.19%) of students have conceptual understanding in solving scientific literacy competencies as scientific design on the subtopic of impulses, and 24 (19.35%) of students have a conceptual understanding in solving scientific literacy competencies as explaining scientific phenomena on the subtopic of momentum. This shows that some students still do not have a conceptual understanding in solving scientific literacy problems on the topic of momentum and impulses.
