Developing physics test instrument in the context of ocean literacy

Abstract

Ocean literacy is an understanding that should be integrated into physics learning for the coastal area. Ocean issues will help students understanding physics concepts. Indonesian government through Kemendikbud and Kemenko Maritim have been developing ocean-relate learning. To support government effort improving ocean literate-education system, it needs a sustainable process. Author choose to develop physics test instrument as one step which addresses the ocean literacy to the Indonesian curriculum. This article presents task analysis of kinematics and dynamics concepts to the 7 essential principles and 24 fundamental concepts of ocean literacy. The results will be described with the matrices relating those. It will be a framework aligning 2013 curriculum to the principles of ocean literacy. Some developed item tests with ocean issues will be described in the end of section.
