Evaluation of physics learning on momentum and impulse topic of the senior high school students

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate of physics learning on Momentum and Impulse topic of the senior high school students. Learning evaluation was held toward students' science processing skill, knowledge and competency, and skill of presenting a product. Learning evaluation was conducted on material momentum and impulse to the tenth year students of senior high school. This was a quantitative research by applying post-test only group design. Students' science processing skill was measured by using students' worksheet. The indicators consisted of observing, classifying, predicting, formulating hypothesis, designing investigation, and conducting experiment. Competence of knowledge was measured through multiple choice tests. Skill of presenting product was measured by applying performance assessment rubric. The data were analysed by using Rasch Model data analysis technique. The result of the research showed that; (1) the students' science processing skill was categorized as skilful from the highest to the lowest found in the activity of predicting, formulating hypothesis, conducting experiment, classifying, and observation. students' achievement on the activity of designing investigation was categorized skilful and intermediate. (2) The students' average achievement of knowledge competency was categorized medium, (3) the average achievement of the students in presenting product was categorized low.
