Exploring the Students’ Scientific Communication-Ability in the Learning of Direct Current of Physics

This descriptive-survey research aims to explore the scientific communication skills of students at Public Islamic Senior High School (MAN) 1 Pontianak on direct current electricity. A sample of 106 students was drawn using a simple random technique. Data were collected using a written essay-achievement test consisting of 16 questions with a duration of 120 minutes. The scientific communication skills studied consist of; (1) create tables/graphs, (2) describe tables/graphs, (3) interpret tables/graphs, and (4) draw conclusions from tables/graphs of direct current electricity material. Based on data analysis, it was found that the scientific communication skills of students at MAN 1 Pontianak in Electric Current were in the medium category and there were different in terms of its aspects. Scientific communication skills are also influenced by students' mastery of teaching materials. These findings can be taken into consideration for improving learning practices in schools.
