Student difficulties with making sense of graphs in physics have been thoroughly reported. In the study of one-dimensional waves, the issue is even trickier since the amplitude is a function of two variables (position and time). In this work, we investigate students' reasoning and difficulties with interpreting the graphical representation of the…

The graph understanding for mastering the natural science concepts through the process skills approach aims to improve student ability in lower secondary school. In this study, we conducted a series of quasi-experiments for participants by using pre-test and post-test. The research instruments consisted of two tests and the questionnaires. After…
