Abstract |
The conception of buoyant force is an advanced concept. If students need to solve the
problem on the buoyant force, they have to understand basic concepts which are mass, volume,
force, pressure, and density. For solving the problems about buoyant force, students need to make
a decision and use many concepts to solve the problems. The difficulty of solving a problem
about buoyant force is students cannot construct and link their own related knowledge to solve
the problem. In this study, the purpose was to study students’ basic concept in buoyant force of
grade 10 and grade 11 students. The target group consisted of 18 students in Phangwittayayhon
school. Two-tier multiple choice was used as a conceptual test in this research consisting of eight
items. All of students were taught about the buoyant force concepts before doing the conceptual
test. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistic. The results showed that more than 80
percent of students have many alternative basic concepts which are related to buoyant force
including mass, volume, depth, pressure, and density even they have already studied buoyant
force since they were in grade 9. |
