Miniature Magnetic Levitation Train Model for Physics Learning

Abstract

This research aims to produce products such as the  development  of Magnetic  Levitation Train miniature models that can be used by teachers and students in the learning process to improve their knowledge of  physics and scientific thinking  skills of  students  in  learning the  material physics of magnetic  induction and magnetic  forces in  the  class XII school. The research was  conducted in March 2012-January 2013 at the Laboratory of Physics Department, Faculty-UNJ. This study uses the research & development (research and development). The study was conducted in several stages:(1) assess the  demands  ofthe  standard SBC, (2) media design, manufacture  and test experts (3) the implementation  phase, students  are tested on high  school  students. Assessment instruments using Likert scale. The trial results Magnetic Levitation Train miniature model of the experts and students get an excellent level of assessment that are in the range of interpretations of scores80-100%.
