Abstract
Persistent challenges in science education lie in
transforming students from formula driven problem solvers
into conceptually grounded scientific reasoners, particularly
in abstract topics such as solid and liquid pressure. This study
examined the effectiveness of the team games tournament
(TGT) learning model in improving students’ conceptual
reasoning on solid and liquid pressure topics. A quasiexperimental pre-test post-test control group design was
employed, involving an experimental group taught using TGT
and a control group receiving teacher centered instruction.
Conceptual reasoning was assessed using a validated test
addressing the relationship between force, surface area, and
pressure, as well as fluid pressure concepts related to depth
and container shape. The results showed a statistically
significant difference in post-test conceptual reasoning
scores between the experimental group (M = 74.72) and the
control group (M = 59.12), with a mean difference of 17.66
points (p = 0.000 < 0.05). In addition, the experimental
group demonstrated a significant pre-test to post-test
improvement, as indicated by a moderate N-Gain score of
0.48 (47.78%), reflecting meaningful conceptual
development. Further analysis revealed a very large
instructional effect of the TGT model (Cohen’s d = 1.597),
indicating strong practical effectiveness beyond statistical
significance. These findings indicate that the TGT model
effectively enhances students’ conceptual reasoning and
reduces misconceptions in solid and liquid pressure learning,
highlighting its potential as a powerful instructional approach
in science education.
