IMPROVING STUDENTS’ REPRESENTATIONAL SKILL AND GENERIC SCIENCE SKILL USING REPRESENTATIONAL APPROACH

Abstract: Improving Students’ Representational Skill and Generic Science Skill Using Representa-tional Approach. This one group pretest-posttest research aimed to examine the effectiveness of represen-tational approach to improve students‟ representational and generic science skills through Selected Topics of School Physics course. The subjects consisted of 24 undergraduate students of physics education program of  UM. The data  were  gathered  using  integrated Mechanics Baseline Test and rubric.  Quantitative  data analyses included t-test, Cohen‟s d-effect size, and normalized gain, whereas qualitative data analyses included coding, tabulating, and interpreting. This result indicated that this representational approach  was consid-ered effective to achieve both learning outcomes.
