Abstract

This study aims to reveal the perception of motivation to study concepts and knowledge and the ability of college students who are candidates for Indonesian Physics Education teacher's bachelor's degrees in their readiness to learn laser technology with a simple laser project during the COVID-19 pandemic. By applying a combination of thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis data were obtained using interviews, questionnaires perceptions, and initial ability diagnostic tests on 264 teacher candidates on the islands of Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. The result revealed that teacher candidate perception of knowledge and the ability of laser technology is as low, however, the level of perception of motivation to study laser technology with experiments to create lasers belong high. The diagnosis test revealed the initial ability of teacher candidates to analyze the occurrence of lasers with atomic theory belonging low. Evidence shows there is a perception motivation gap inequality in studying laser technology towards knowledge and the ability to analyze the occurrence of lasers with atomic theory, this high perception of motivation to study is caused by college students who are very interested and challenged to learn the concept by creating a simple laser that has not yet never did they. The claim of this study we suggest including laser technology in the main topic of learning for future teachers of Physics Education through the project of creating simple lasers by further strengthening the concept of the process of occurrence of lasers with a review of atomic theory.
