DIFFERENCES IN LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AND GRAPH INTERPRETATION SKILLS OF MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS ON KINEMATICS OF LINEAR MOTION WITH VIDEO-BASED LABORATORY ON 5E LEARNING CYCLE MODEL

The results of practical exam on some mechanics topics of a high school in Bandung show that almost half of students are hard to make a right conclusion based on experiment result due to bad data acquisition. Bad data makes the graph hardly to be analysed and can lead to misconception. So, data quality should be more accurate. Good data produces good graph which easily to be analysed and leads to better comprehension. The quality of data acquisition can be improved by using video-based laboratory. Another issue related with this study is gender on science achievement. The aim of this study is to compare the improvement of learning achievement and graph interpretation skills of male and female students on kinematics of linear motion with video-based laboratory on 5E learning cycle model. Research method in this study is Pre-Experimental Design with one group pre-test/post-test design with one kind of treatment. The study was conducted in one of high schools in Bandung. Learning Achievement Test was used to measure learning achievement (LA) in cognitive domains and Test of Understanding Graph Kinematics was used to measure graph interpretation skills (GIS). The results show that male students have higher improvement than female students in learning achievement and graph interpretation skills. N-Gain of male on LA is 33% with moderate criteria, whereas female 19% with low criteria. N-Gain of male on GIS is 31% with moderate criteria, whereas female 20% with low criteria
