This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the four-tier diagnostic test items given to class XI high school students. This research is a quantitative descriptive study, which collects student answer sheets as data which is then analyzed for item selection, reliability, level of difficulty, discriminating power, distractor functioning, and readability test. This research was conducted on 30 students of class XI at SMA N 1 Slawi. The results concluded that in the selection of items from the 21 questions made, there were 16 items that were suitable for use and 5 items that were not suitable for use. In the reliability of the questions obtained by the reliability value of rcount of 0.760. In the level of difficulty, there are 5 questions in the easy category, 14 questions in the medium category, and 2 questions in the difficult category. In the differentiating power, the questions in the good category are 8 questions, the sufficient category is 8 questions, and the bad category is 5 questions. In the distractor function there are 10 questions whose distractors function well and 11 questions whose distractors do not function properly. Readability test questions according to student assessment questionnaires, four-tier diagnostic test questions are categorized as good to use.

The purpose of this study is to identify concept mastery and scientific literacy capability of senior high school students. This study used quantitative-qualitative mix method. This study was conducted at senior high school students of 1 Kudus. The subjects of this study were 12 th grade student who have received all the subject matter of physics. The instruments of this study were concept-based and scientific literacy-based multiple choice test accompanied by the reason. The level of concept mastery and scientific literacy capability of students was analyzed through the appropriateness of the choice of answers with the reasons. The results shows that the lowest level of concept mastery and scientific literacy capability of senior high school students is item Graduate Competence Standards (GCS) 3 about heat and thermodynamics. From the results can be conclude that concept mastery influences the students' scientific literacy capability

Kemampuan representasi matematis dalam memecahkan masalah listrik magnet, mahasiswa akan mengungkapkan karakteristik listrik magnet. Topik listrik magnet tergolong konsep yang abstrak dan teoritis berupa matematis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan representasi matematik mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah fisika pada perkuliahan listrik magnet. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode deskripsi kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa semester IV Program Studi Pendidikan Fisika UNNES. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan memberikan soal pada mahasiswa yang sebelumnya telah mendapatkan materi garis medan dan hukum Gauss pada mata kuliah listrik magnet. Hasil analisis data berdasarkan langkah-langkah hasil pekerjaan mahasiswa menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan representasi matematik dalam memecahkan masalah fisika pada perkuliahan listrik magnet pada kategori tinggi dengan jumlah paling sedikit yaitu sebesar 9%, selanjutnya kategori sedang dengan jumlah mahasiswa paling banyak yaitu sebesar 75%, dan kategori rendah yaitu sebesar 16%.

Komposit alam berbahan dasar daun jati telah dikembangkan di Universtas Negeri Semarang sebagai bahan alternatif pengganti kayu. Bahan komposit tersebut bersifat non konduktif sehingga untuk mengamati morfologinya dengan SEM ( Scanning Electron Microscopy ) diperlukan proses coating dengan menggunakan bahan konduktif seperti emas (Au) dan Palladium (Pd). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan waktu coating optimal untuk sampel komposit alam. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan variasi waktu coating yaitu 30 sampai 180 detik dengan penambahan 30 detik pada arus tetap 18 mA. Dari hasil SEM menunjukkan bahwa secara kualitatif waktu coating optimal untuk bahan komposit alam adalah 90 detik. Dari analisis EDX didapatkan penambahan waktu coating mengakibatkan penurunan persentase kandungan unsur bahan komposit alam. Hasil EDX pada waktu coating 90 detik diperoleh kandungan Carbon 10,7 %, Oksigen 1,4% dan Nitrogen 1% dan bahan pelapis Emas 85,5% dan Palladium 0,6%.

Most of physics students hold classical physics perspective when they learn quantum physics. Modeling instruction is implemented to identify mental models changing in learning quantum conceptual models. Mental model is an image created in the mind of a natural phenomenon. The conceptual model is a description of natural phenomena in appropriate with the scientists perspective. Qualitative analysis used in this research is grounded theory. The results of identification student model mental is categorized as quantum, intermediate and clasical mechanics. Students have experienced changing of dimensional understanding area from classical mechanics into a quantum perpective. The accuracy of mental model identification can be improved by making the interpretation image repeatedly.

Modification of conventional radiography systems into a digital radiography system was conducted at the Laboratory of Physics Unnes . The image quality of digital radiography system that was developed in the Laboratory of Medical Physics Unnes need to be tested. The computed radiography (CR) system owned by Diponegoro National Hospital was chosen as a comparison with contrass to noise ratio (CNR) methode. Radiograph image generated by both radiography system then analyzed by software based on MATLAB. This study uses a copper plate phantom exposed to X-rays with a variation of anode-cathode voltage of 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV and 80 kV. For each voltage to vary the electrical current and expotion time of 1.6 mAs, 2.0 mAs, mAs 4.0, 8 mAs, 16 mAs and 32 mAs. Comparison of CNR for both systems to variations of tube voltage (kV) have a fixed value for the current and expotion time 4 mAs. Comparison of CNR for both systems to variations in current and ekspotion time (mAs) selected tube voltage 70kV.
