Abstract

In this paper, we present the result of a study on the identifying problem-solving ability on distance education students’ physics. Descriptive-qualitative is used for method of research. The subjects of the study were in-service students’ physics of distance education. Sample were 19 students from all of student taking electricity and magnetism course in term 2019/2020. Essay test of electrostatics problem solving is used for collecting data technique. Test of problem solving is given at the beginning of the course in asynchronous tutoring of electric and magnetic cores. The finding of the study indicated problem solving ability of in-service students’ physics of distance education are categorized low (44,56%) in solving the problems. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve students' ability to solve problems, through asynchronous tutorials by applying problem-solving strategies in interactive discussion and collaborative work in groups. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing.
