Abstract
The objective of this research was to describe the tenth year students- ability to understand concept and adversity quotient in material of elasticity in Senior High School. This is single case study research where the objective of research was to investigate the condition and situation happens, so that provide description based on fact found in the research field. The researcher apply a post test only group research design where the tenth year students of one of senior high schools in Bandung taken as the sample of the research. The data were analyzed by using Rasch Model technique. The instruments used to collect the data were test consisting of 15 items and questionnaires of adversity quotient and questionnaire of Adversity Response Profile (ARP). The research result showed that the students- ability of understanding concept in all aspect was still low. The percentage can be shown such as inference (48%), classifying (45%), interpreting (55%), comparing (38%), summarizing (44%), and explaining (44%). The adversity quotient showed that 4 students can be categorized climber type (students with high struggling rate), 25 students were camper type (students with medium struggling rate), and 3 students were quitter type (students with low struggling rate).
