Abstract

Heat and heat transfer is still becoming a difficult concept for students due to its characteristic as an abstract concept. This fact leads students to have a misconception about the topic. Introductory Physics as a mandatory subject to Pre-service Physics Teacher has an important role in constructing and developing students’ scientific concept. Model-based learning (MBL) was developed and has been implementing in this course. Design-based research as a research method was used in examining the effectiveness of MBL. Results show that MBL has an impact on improving students’ understanding of heat and heat transfer. Both the effect size and normalized gain showed a positive increase in the medium category.
