The analysis of mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM) and scientific literacy on the 10th grade students' understanding of physics concepts

Abstract

The study aims to examine the relationship between mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM) and scientific literacy due to understanding concepts. By using random sampling, the sampling was selected from three schools. Validity, reliability, level of differential, discrimination test were applied to the instrument of mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM), scientific literacy, and understanding concepts (in form the test). The conclusion can be shown from the research that the hypothesis test (α = 0,05) of mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM) toward understanding concepts is 0,000. Scientific literacy toward understanding concepts is 0,021. Mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM) and scientific literacy toward understanding concepts is 0,000. The score indicates students' improvement in understanding concepts effected by mathematical adaptive reasoning (PAM) and scientific literacy.
