Understanding the Newton’s Motion Concept Through Qualitative and Quantitative Teaching

This research aims to analyze the influence of qualitative teaching and quantitative pursuit on understanding concept motion Newton Student Science Education Study Program FMIPA UNM. The main objectives this study were obtain information: 1) characteristics pretest post-test results Newton’s concepts students following teaching, 2) 3) student activities, 4) a significant difference who follow teaching. method used is mixed. embedded experimental model, population 100 student’s odd semester 2019/2020 divided into group A 50 B as many students. techniques for data collection interviews tests, analyzed qualitatively quantitatively. found in A: initial based Aristotelian’s theory 30 (60 percent), Impetus 15 (30 five (10 percent). result Aristotle one (2 impetus’s four (8 45 (90 In B: early Aristotelian 35 (70 ten (20 percent); activity learning included high category, There that strict mathematical formulations do not foster ability comprehend physical qualitatively. Students are generally only interested solving physics problems manipulating numbers equations. They passionate about aspects formulations.
