Abstract

One of the fundamental problems for the college students is not being able to solve the multi-concept physics problems. The reason is that the problem solving strategies is limited to known-asked strategy (traditional strategy).Though this strategy can only be used to solve the problems of mono-concept physics. Therefore, this research on the use of knowledge sketching strategy as an alternative to help students to solve multi-concept physics problems is conducted. This study used "single-group pretest-posttest design" with treatment in the form of sketch knowledge strategy.The results showed that the average students' pretest score (n = 23) was 3.61 and the mean posttest score was 7.65.This indicates an increase in the average score of 4.04 after being treated.
