Siti Nursaila Alias, Faridah Ibrahim

Abstract


The aim of this research is to determine the level of mastering Forces in Equilibrium topics according to thinking skill for Form Four Physics students. 189 Form Four Physics students from secondary school at Kuala Kangsar district in Perak involved in this research. All students are 16 years old. Questionnaire method has been conducted in order to perform this research. Descriptive statistics namely mean and standard deviation has been used in this research. The findings showed the level of mastering Forces in Equilibrium topics according to thinking skills was unsatisfactory.

Keywords
