IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING THEORY IN IMPROVING THE CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS STUDENT OF INSTITUTE OF TEACHERS’ EDUCATION

In this paper discussed how to improve the conceptual knowledge of physics student of Institute of Teachers' Education (Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan: LPTK) using transformative learning theory. Physics student of LPTK have difficulty increase conceptual knowledge of physics, due to the difficulty in transforming the concept. In this paper described how to facilitate this change (transformation concept) use of transformative learning theory. The discussion in this paper provide input for faculty and students in conceptual learning. Discussions focused on developing a theoretical model of learning based on the theory of transformative learning in improving the conceptual knowledge of physics students of LPTK.
