The Elaboration of Understanding by Design in A Physics Learning about Capacitor Circuits

Abstract

The connection among learning objectives, learning evaluation, and learning steps in a lesson plan is essential in an effective learning. A meaningful learning to students is a learning where learning objectives, evaluations, and steps are interrelated. A physics learning about capacitor circuits is an abstract learning that requires the proper learning method so that students can easily understand it. The purpose of this study is to make a lesson plan about capacitor circuits using UbD. Understanding by Design (UbD) is often referred to as "Backward Design" – an alternative lesson plan in a sequence namely learning objectives, learning evaluations, and learning steps. First of all, the lesson plan was made about capacitors using UbD Template. The lesson plan then was given to the three reviewers who are all physics teachers. Suggestions from reviewers will be reviewed and used as a reference in the improvement or revision of the lesson plan.
