Inquiry-based physics textbooks with multi representation to practice hypothetico deductive reasoning for senior high school students

Abstract

Physics learning consists of theories, concepts, and laws that study phenomena in the universe that must emphasize students to use higher-order thinking skills. Scientific reasoning is a thought process that is used to solve problems based on scientific evidence. When students can reason well, these students can understand the concepts of the material that has been learned. Hypothetico deductive reasoning is one of scientific reasoning that can foster higher order thinking skills. One that can support the success of the learning process is a textbook accompanied by an inquiry. This inquiry-based textbook accompanied by multirepresentations contains a description of physics subjects to find information and knowledge where students are encouraged to be directly involved in inquiry to practice hypotethico deductive reasoning skills. This book is equipped with multi representations to facilitate students in processing concepts and solving problems. Inquiry-based student textbooks accompanied by multiple representations can improve students to gain experience, investigate problems and draw conclusions according to scientific methods.
