Wave energy concept mastery relate on creative thinking skills of the pre-service physics teachers in environmental physics lectures

Abstract

This research is a survey that aims to wave energy concept mastery relate on creative thinking skills of Pre-Service Physics Teachers in a university in Bima Town-West Nusa Tenggara. This survey involved 23 of seventh semester Physics education students who have taken the Environmental Physics Lectures. Data collected through an instrument in essay form that integrated with indicators of creative thinking skills. Data analysis was done by using descriptive quantitative analysis techniques and ANOVA test using SPSS 20. Based on the results of data analysis, it was concluded the mastery of wave energy concept of Pre-Service Physics Teachers was still low, where the average value was 44.78. Besides that, 78% of Pre-Service Physics Teachers' creative thinking skills can be categorized on low categorized. In addition, based on the ANOVA test there was a difference the mastery of wave energy concept in Pre-Service Physics Teachers who have low and middle category of creative thinking skills. The map of wave energy concept mastery and levels of creative thinking skills will be used as references in developing environmental physics lectures about wave energy and creative thinking skills for Pre-Service Physics Teachers.
