Abstract

This study aims to develop STEM-based static fluid teaching materials assisted by LKPD Conceptual Change to identify the mental model profile of high school students. The research design used is 4D (Defining, Designing, Developing, & Disseminating). The participants involved in this study were 25 students (17 girls and 8 boys with an average age of 17 years) in one of the public high schools in Bandung. The research instrument used was a student response questionnaire which contained 10 questions and the FTDT-FS instrument consisted of 10 items that had been analyzed using Rasch analysis, namely by analyzing item fit, summary statistics, and person-item maps. The results showed that STEM-based Static Fluid Teaching Materials Assisted by LKPD Conceptual Change had a very good feasibility rate of 82.5%, besides the results of the trial of the FTDT-FS instrument in this teaching material produced four categories of student mental model profiles. The category scientific with a percentage of 52% on hydrostatic pressure, the category Synthesis-Partial Understanding has the largest percentage of 44.6% on the Archimedes law indicator, the category initial with a percentage of 13.3% on the Archimedes law indicator, and the category misconception on the Archimedes law indicator with a percentage of 12.6 %. Therefore, STEM-based static fluid teaching materials can be combined with LKPD Conceptual Change so that they can identify the mental model profile of high school students.
