摘要：Reading comprehension of physics texts is a neglected area in physics curricula. This article reports an investigation the critical reading of physics texts among students of physics education. Students’ performance reading comprehension on science text were investigated using reading comprehension test. Students’ reading comprehension of science texts are tested with the help of reading comprehension which is designed with reference to TOEFL reading test and translated into Bahasa Indonesia. Eight component skills of comprehension were examined. To assess the skill a reading comprehension of physics texts, true-false-unreported tests were used. It was found that the skill required to discriminate unreported statements from the others (true and false) was found to be of a higher level. Total of 67 students of physics education at a college in Bandung participated in the study. It was found that students’ reading comprehension of science texts and physics texts were at lower level. These findings support the importance of incorporating training of reading comprehension strategy of the science text into the curricula.
其他摘要：College physics curricula gives less attention to reading comprehension skills. This article reported a critical investigation on physics student teachers reading comprehension skills of science and physics texts. Their performances of reading comprehension of science texts were investigated using reading comprehension test. Science texts used to test their skills of reading comprehension are designed in regard to the TOEFL reading test and translated into Bahasa Indonesia. Eight components of comprehension skills were examined. To assess the reading comprehension skills of physics texts, true-false-unreported tests were used. It was found that the higher reading skills were needed to distinguish the unreported statemet in the basic text. Total of 67 physics student teachers at a college in Bandung participated in the study. It was found that their reading comprehension skills of science and physics texts fell into a low level. These findings supported that training the physics student teachers on reading comprehension strategies of science and physics texts should be integrated into teacher education programs.
