Using word-pictorial presentation model to simplify understanding concept test of Newton's law

Abstract

The information in the presentation of the test is a factor that affects student's response; it can be the correct or incorrect answer. Assume that students already know the information for an example speed. If the questions related to kinematics, then the chances of students answered correctly are greater than if it related to the dynamics. This potential is used principally to Simplify Student Understanding Concept Test of Newton's Law. FCI (Force Concept Inventory) numbers 13 and 14 used as a comparison of Word- Pictorial WPP model. WPP model applied to the students who take the course of mechanics (22 students). Obtained a positive correlation between WPP and FCI numbers 13 and 14, with value of r13 = 0, 72, r14 = 0, 88. It can conclude that the WPP model could be used as an alternative assessment to assess student understanding concept of Newton's Law.
