Abstract

This study investigated the multiple representations ability of high school students on linear motion in the aspect of the ability to represent various forms of representation and the ability to translate between representations. The representation records included verbal, graphs, diagrams, mathematics, and tables. This research was conducted by conducting tests on respondents consisting of 301 high school students who were randomly selected and studied linear motion. The analysis was carried out using IRT PCM 1PL with the help of the Quest program to determine students’ ability scores (θ) and descriptive statistics for more detailed information. The results show that students tend to have low multiple representations ability (θ = −1.20) in all aspects of various representations. This finding implies that more attention is needed to improve the ability of multiple representations, and it is necessary to synchronize the physics and mathematics curriculum to support the improvement of multiple representation ability
