NAME : ANGELINE SIAW WEE WEI
MATRIC NO.: YT2016-1167
 1ST -INTRODUCTION TO MEASUREMENT
THEORY AND PHILOSOPHY
THE BASIC CONCEPTS
• MEASUREMENT CAN BE DEFINED IN THE WIDE SENSE AS A PROCESS OF EMPIRICAL,
OBJECTIVE ASSIGNMENT OF SYMBOLS TO ATTRIBUTES OF OBJECTS AND EVENTS OF
THE REAL WORLD IN SUCH A WAY AS TO , OR TO DESCRIBE THEM.

OUTLINE OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MEASUREMENT THEORY

• THE PRACTICAL PURSUIT OF MEASUREMENT AROSE IN THE EARLIEST STAGES OF THE
MATERIAL CULTURE OF MAN.
• THE ANCIENT GREEKS WERE THE FIRST TO INVESTIGATE THE PHILOSOPHICAL
FOUNDATIONS OF MEASUREMENT.
• THE MIDDLE AGES SAW MUCH SCHOLARLY STUDY OF THE THEORY OF
MEASUREMENT,
• THE RISE OF MODERN SCIENCE, FROM GALILEO, THROUGH NEWTON TO LAGRANGE
AND MAXWELL, PUT MATHEMATICS AT THE HEART OF PHYSICS, APPLIED
MEASUREMENT TO PHYSICAL OBSERVATION, AND DEVELOPED COMPREHENSIVE
MATHEMATICAL THEORIES OF DOMAINS OF PHYSICS.
• MODERN MEASUREMENT THEORY HAS BEEN DEBATED IN THE MEASUREMENT AND
INSTRUMENTATION TECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY SINCE THE 1970S.
 NATURE AND PROPERTIES
OF MEASUREMENT
• THE PROPERTIES OF MEASUREMENT ARISING FROM ITS
DEFINITION AS A PROCESS OF EMPIRICAL, OBJECTIVE,
ASSIGNMENT OF SYMBOLS TO PROPERTIES OF OBJECTS OR
EVENTS OF THE REAL WORLD IN SUCH A WAY AS TO
DESCRIBE THEM WILL NOW BE ANALYZED AND DISCUSSED.
• SCIENCE IS NOT JUST THE AMASSING OF NUMERICAL DATA; IT
DEPENDS UPON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DATA ARE
INTERPRETED, ANALYZED, AND ORGANIZED.
 2ND –LITERATURE REVIEW
• PENGUASAAN ASAS PERTUKARAN UNIT DALAM KALANGAN
PELAJAR
• TUJUAN :
 BAGI MENANGANI KELEMAHAN PENGUASAAN ASAS PERTUKARAN UNIT
DALAM KALANGAN PELAJAR
• OBJEKTIF KHUSUS
 1 MENGENALPASTI ASAS PENGETAHUAN PELAJAR DALAM PERTUKARAN
UNIT.
 2. MENGENALPASTI PUNCA KELEMAHAN PELAJAR DALAM PERTUKARAN
UNIT.
 3. MENGENALPASTI PEMAHAMAN PELAJAR TERHADAP PERTUKARAN
UNIT.
 4. MEREKABENTUK TEKNIK LATIH TUBI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN
PENGUASAAN ASAS PERTUKARAN UNIT.
• CARA MENYELESAIKAN:
 MELAKSANAKAN LATIH TUBI SOALAN ASAS PERTUKARAN UNIT
 MEMASUKKAN ELEMEN PERTUKARAN UNIT
 3RD LITERATURE REVIEW
STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION OF
THE AREA UNDER THE CURVE CONCEPT IN PHYSICS
PROBLEMS

• INVESTIGATES HOW STUDENTS UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE

AREA UNDER THE CURVE CONCEPT AND THE INTEGRAL - AREA
RELATION IN SOLVING INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS PROBLEMS.
• THE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY USED IN THIS STUDY WAS THE
INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW. THIS METHOD HAD AN ADVANTAGE IN
THAT IT ALLOWED US TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO HOW INDIVIDUAL
STUDENTS INTERACTED WITH THE CONCEPT OF AN INTEGRAL AS
AREA UNDER THE CURVE.
A1. AN INTERVIEW EPISODE IN WHICH A
STUDENT SPONTANEOUSLY RECOGNIZED THE USE
OF THE AREA UNDER THE CURVE IN INTERVIEW 2
A2. AN INTERVIEW EPISODE IN WHICH A STUDENT RECOGNIZED THE USE OF
THE AREA UNDER THE CURVE AFTER A FEW HINTS IN INTERVIEW 2
