Optimize use of icare based student worksheet (ICARE-BSW) in physics learning at the introduction level

Abstract

ICARE-Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW) was a learning tool equipped with the ICARE (Introduction, Connecting, Apply, Reflecting, and Extend) steps used in the learning process and its achievement activities. Researchers have conducted a limited test of the use of ICARE Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW) with 6 groups of Students on 5 ICARE Based Student Worksheets (ICARE-BSW) with different tools. Learners have been done on the Student worksheet by following the steps of ICARE. In addition, at the end of the meeting also carried out the responses to the use of the Student Worksheet, appearance, and understanding of the tools. This response was a major source of development and change that will be applied to the improvement and progress of the ICARE Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW). The results of the responses show that the ICARE Based Student Worksheet view is interesting, the learning tools are lacks, and it needs to be developed again work instructions on the use of ICARE Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW) in learning. Further development is directed towards improving the tools, quality, and quantity of ICARE-Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW) use in the application of large group trials at different grade levels. The researcher provided a response questionnaire to see the Student's responses about the ease of access, adequacy of content, and appeal of the use of ICARE-Based Student Worksheets (ICARE-BSW) involving Educative Participants in interacting and improving productive skills and knowledge in learning. The results of a questionnaire of responses illustrate that the use of ICARE Based Student Worksheet (ICARE-BSW) is good enough in improving student's skills on physics introduction level.
