Development of student worksheet for enhancing of graphical and mathematical construction of physical phenomenon of pre service mathematics teacher in basic physics lecture

Abstract

The preservice math teacher needs to have the competence of his mathematical literacy. According to NCTM (2014) the competence of mathematician teacher candidates must have problem solving abilities, communication, logic inference reasoning, connections and representations. Basic physics courses can be providers to equip the ability of graphical and mathematical representation of a physical phenomenon for math teacher candidates. Unfortunately, physics lectures for mathematics teacher candidates have been viewed more as a form of knowledge than as a form of thinking or a method of investigating in mathematical literacy. This is what causes the results of physics lectures have not shown significant significance to the competence of math teacher candidates. The researcher develops the structure of lectures, teaching materials, student worksheets, appropriate instruments and lecture methods to equip the graphic and mathematical representation capabilities of a physical phenomenon for mathematics student candidates. The method to be used in this research is mixed methods method with embedded experimental model design. In this paper the researcher will describe the achievement of the development stage of the student worksheet which is oriented to the ability of construction of graphic and mathematical representation of a physical phenomenon in basic physics lecture for preservice math teacher.
