Computer Virtual Media-Aided Active Learning Student Sheets (ALSS) to Improve Students' Understanding on PV, PT, VT, and TS Diagrams of Ideal Gas

摘要

The study was motivated by the finding that prospective physicist students' understanding in the manufacture of PV, PT, VT, and TS diagrams for ideal gas that still low. The findings further indicate the conceptual difficulties experienced by students in the manufacture of PV, PT, VT, and TS diagrams to describe the process and the thermodynamic cycle in the ideal gas system. The method used is quasi-experimental with its initial analysis of the descriptive to the development of Active Learning Student Sheets (ALSS). The treatment provided in the form of learning with the help of virtual media followed ALSS as reinforcement to the students' understanding. A number of 31 prospective physicist students involved collecting research data. Improved students' understanding in the charting of the achievements of the average value of students in related test instrument manufacture PV, PT, VT, and TS diagrams processes and thermodynamic cycles. The findings show the use of computer virtual media-aided Active Learning Student Sheets (ALSS) effectively improve the prospective physicist students' understanding in the manufacture of PV, PT, VT, and TS diagrams.
