Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the factors on Physic achievement of 8-grade Indonesian students in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011. 9,074 eighth-grade students from 153 schools within 31 provinces in Indonesia participated in TIMSS 2011 assessment. A Path Analysis using the AMOS program was employed to examine the effect of the factors (i.e. students’ gander, students’ time spent on homework, students’ liking to learn Physics, the importance of physics in students’ life, students’ confidence in Physics, and students’ engagement in Physics lessons) on Physics achievement using five plausible values as outcomes variables. This study highlighted various important findings on student predictors. The findings indicated the statistically significant influence of student’s attitudes (Like Physics and Confidence Physics) toward Physics, Gender differences, and Homework on eighth-grade Indonesian students’ Physics Achievement.
