Summary:This study aims to determine the problem-solving ability on the topic of temperature and heat. This research is a survey research. The subject of this study consisted of 118 undergraduate physics education program students' (46 first-year students, 29 second-year students, and 43 third-year students). The research instrument consisted of 4 essay question questions. The results of the analysis show that students' ability to solve problems about temperature and heat is still in the 'novice' category. In solving the problem, 13.56% of students have completed the Visual Representation stage, 68.22% of students have completed the Describe The Physics stage, 79.45% of students have completed the Plan A Solution and Excute The Plan stages, and 22.67% of students have completed the Evaluate The Answer stage. Most students only use mathematical equations without understanding their meaning.
