Analysis of Competency Level for Wave Science in General Physics-Based on Literacy Science in PISA

PISA competency framework has been gained global recognition from 2006 and was developed until the latest version in 2015. PISA competency emphasis is classified into three competencies standard, such as explaining scientific phenomena, evaluating and designing scientific inquiry, and interpreting scientific data and evidence, finally, summarizing research findings. All of the PISA’s standard competency is reflected in each of the three types of knowledge that consist of content knowledge, procedural knowledge and epistemic knowledge. PISA science assessment is based on science literacy. This article will analyze the three competencies of PISA science literacy determined by each knowledge in basic physics topics: wave. Furthermore, the subject matter refers to wave phenomenon, types of wave, the magnitude, the formula, superposition of wave, reflection and refraction, resonance, and the energy of wave.
