Abstract

The unavailability of statistical physics books delivered in Bahasa Indonesia has encouraged students to learn and understand the concept of statistical physics delivered in English textbooks. This study was aimed at investigating pre-service physics teachers’ summarising ability, reading comprehension ability to understand statistical physics textbooks delivered in English and their difficulties concerning reading comprehension. The study involved 76 pre-service physics teachers. A test was constructed with nine items to measure their reading comprehension. Also pre-service teachers were given questionnaire to investigate their reading comprehension difficulties. The results show that they had not summarized the passage but translated them. When it came to reading comprehension, they performed low ability in English reading comprehension. Their reading comprehension difficulties had something to do with the vocabulary mastery as the most significant burden and their low reading habit. There is a need to improve pre-service physics teachers English textbook reading habit and their vocabulary mastery to boost their reading comprehension on concepts of statistical physics delivered in English textbook.
