ANALISIS KESALAHAN SISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN SOAL PADA MATERI ELASTISITAS DAN GERAK HARMONIK SEDERHANA DI SMA NEGERI 8 SURAKARTA

ABSTRACT Murti Febriyanti. ANALYSIS ERROR OF STUDENTS IN PROBLEMS SOLVING ON THE ELASTICITY AND SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION SUBJECT AT SMA NEGERI 8 SURAKARTA. Thesis, Teacher Training and Education Faculty Sebelas Maret University. July 2016. The purposes of research to find out: (1) types of error that are made by students in solving problems about Elasticity and Simple Harmonic Motion, (2) factors of error that are caused by students in solving problems about Elasticity and Simple Harmonic Motion. This research used descriptive qualitative research. The study is done at a student XI IPA 1 SMA Negeri 8 Surakarta. A sample of research the selected as many as 10 students from 25 graders, XI IPA 1 with the technique of sample aims. Data collection techniques was done by observation techniques, and interview. Data validation was done by triangulation of data, namely comparing the results of observations teacher and students, the data result of student daily tests, and data from interviews with several students. Data analysis was done by phase of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on data analysis can be concluded: (1) errors type were experienced by students in solving the Elasticity and Simple Harmonic Motion of the matter is: errors of strategy (100%), translation errors (96%), misconceptions (96%), and miscalculation (60%). (2) the cause of the error that were experienced by students in solving problems of the subject of the Elasticity and Simple Harmonic Motion are: (a) the cause of the strategy error: Students did not read the problems instructions, students didn’t understand what the question of the problem, students didn’t do varied exercises problem, students were less scrupulous, less exercise, could not distinguish the use of symbols of physics and not understand the concept of right, (b) the translation error: students had lack of time, were less scrupulous, confused with Physics symbol, and did not even know, (c) the cause error: students do not understand the material that was submitted by teacher, students do not learn the material that has not been understood, the students did not dare ask the teacher if not understood material, students learn only from the record books that incomplete, the reading of students are less that maximum, studens didn’t do varied exercises problem, and students did not attend. (d) the cause of miscalculation: students were less scrupulous, confused, and in a hurry in the work on the problems, because of lack of time, even some students could not perform arithmetic operations well.
