An analysis of the understanding of physical education students on the environmental physical concept in landslide matter

Abstract

Physics is a branch of science that discusses natural phenomena with all their physical dynamics such as mass, energy, momentum and physics concepts that exist in our environment which are related to landslides. The problem is how much understanding of students in dealing with landslide natural disasters. This study aims to describe the understanding of physical education students on environmental physics concepts in landslide material. This research was conducted in the Physics Education Study Program. The research subjects were 30 students of the physical education study program class C class 2017. The data collection instrument used was a multiple-choice reasoned amounting to 15 items accompanied by CRI to determine the level of confidence of the research subject in answering the questions. The test result data is then analyzed to determine the percentage understanding of the concept for each given question. The results of the analysis of respondents' answers regarding the conceptual understanding test on the concept of environmental physics in the landslide phenomenon showed that the level of understanding of the concept of students was classified as sure that they understood the concept, namely moderate with an average percentage of 41.98%, an average misconception of 29.79%, and not understanding the concept of an average of 29.03%.
