Identifikasi Model Mental Siswa Pada Materi Energi Kelas IV SD Muhammadiyah 6 Pekanbaru
This study aims to identify students' mental models on each energy concept. Descriptive quantitative methods are used to get an overview of students' mental models related to the concept of energy. The sample of this study was grade IV students at SD Muhammadiyah 6 Pekanbaru. The instrument used to collect data was a conceptual understanding level test consisting of three question sections asking for answers in the form of explanations and depictions. The results showed that the mental models of students related to each energy concept reached the three categories of mental models determined, namely MM Scientific, Synthetic MM, and MM Initials. The mental model of students in the Scientific category is 5.77% in the energy concept of changing energy forms, the lowest Synthetic category is 11.s1% in the concept of energy benefits, and the highest Initials category is 88.46% in the concept of energy utilization in daily life. These results indicate that students understand the concept of energy based on daily experiences without using appropriate concepts. Students have not been able to build on the knowledge gained during the learning process, and their answers are not represented coherently. These results also show that learning implemented in class has not been able to facilitate the achievement of students' scientific or scientific mental models in linking knowledge with experiences in daily life.
