| Popis: | Thinking about the boundary conditions for the formulation of abstract physical principles is needed in solving physical problems. A physics equation cannot simply be applied without regard to the context and requirements that the equation must fulfill. This study has explored the sense of scale in the context of solving physical problems in prospective teacher students, using qualitative descriptive analysis. Respondents consisted of 37 1st semester students, 35 5th semester students and 20 Physics teacher professional education (PPG) students at UNNES. The results of the study showed that sense of scale in solving physical problems in first and fifth semester students was low, while in professional education students were classified as moderate. There was no difference in the understanding of the scale between male and female students. Sense of scale about the measurement limit of a measurement instrument was better. Sense of scale in understanding the boundary conditions for the application of a physical formalism, identifying variables and constants according to context, and predicting a phenomenon based on the finding data was still relatively low. |
