Four-Tier Diagnostic Test Assisted Website for Identifies Misconceptions Heat and Temperature

Misconceptions get special attention in educational research because they are inhibiting students in learning. Misconceptions often occur in learning physics, especially the concept of heat, and nearly every sub-concept of physics on students experience various misconceptions. One of them is defining heat. Many students believe that temperature is considered as a unit of measure for the amount of heat. This is a wrong conception. Thus, it needs to be identified using appropriate diagnostic test instruments to reduce students’ misconceptions. Four-tier diagnostic tests can detect students’ misconceptions because they can dig deeper into understanding students’ conceptions. Unfortunately, the diagnostic tests of student misconception are still rarely applied at most schools. The reason is time constraints in the implementation and correction of the diagnostic tests. Therefore, here we report digital four-tier diagnostic test instruments of student misconception on heat and temperature through a helpful website and can be accessed anywhere.

Development of Computer Based Diagnostic Test for Student Misconception on Material Temperature and Heat

<p><em>Misconception diagnostic tests are rarely carried out by lecturers in lectures because of the length of time needed to make test instruments and data analysis to be able to provide immediate feedback. The purpose of this study was to produce a Computer Based Diagnostic Test Misconception program for students in physics on temperature and heat. The research design used was the modified Borg and Gall Research and Development (R &amp; D). This research was conducted at Tulungagung IAIN by involving 10 students of educations Physics The instrument for data collection is in the form of a validator questionnaire, and a product development trial questionnaire. The research data includes quantitative data in the form of evaluating validators and questionnaires from the trial results, as well as qualitative data in the form of comments and suggestions given by validators and students. The results show that the development program is feasible to use based on expert validation with very feasible categories and supported by student responses / comments in good categories. The computer based diagnostic test misception program produced has four main parts, namely diagnostic tests, diagnostic test results, discussion of questions, and remedial in the form of remedial material. The results of the analysis of effectiveness tests can be concluded that computer based diagnostic test misconseption programs can improve students' conceptual understanding and be able to reduce student misconceptions in temperature and heat material.</em></p><em></em>

ANALISIS MISKONSEPSI SISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN SOAL MISKONSEPSI PADA MATA PELAJARAN BIOLOGI

Biology is a basic science for studying living things. Basically, some biological content that is contemporary in the learning process is not only in the form of transfer of information and facts from the teacher to students through what they see and what they hear through specific information processing, but requires literal understanding of concepts. Provision of material biological concepts become biased and inherent in one's understanding and cause cognitive conflict that leads to misconceptions. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the analysis of students' mastery of concepts in solving problems that are considered correct but theoretically wrong. The analysis used in this study was by identifying students' level of understanding in a material and concept. Conclusions from the study that the level of student misconception through its CRI analysis> 2.5 of 30 students, 97% experienced misconception. For this reason, it is necessary to study biological material and be revised by the teacher and students by studying the material and concepts that are correct or bringing in experts in the field of biology.

Diagnosis of Student Misconception in Heat Material Using Tier Test

Students, basically, possess prior knowledge or conception regarding a concept, even before they study it formally in the school. Sometimes, their conceptions are inconsistent with scientific concept and resulting misconceptions. Some studies found that students encounter misconception of some concepts, particularly in Physics. Three-tier Test is an instrument used to identify student’s misconception and lack of knowledge. A misconception should be differentiate from a lack of knowledge because remediation of a misconception is more difficult than remediation of a lack of knowledge. Besides, both of them may entail different instructional methods. This study focused on diagnosing students’ misconceptions of heat using Three-tier Test. The study is aimed to explain in what concepts the students encounter misconceptions of heat and to explain the prevalence of students’ misconceptions of heat. The method used in this study was a descriptive-exploratory research with non-experimental design. The sample of this study was 150 Grade VII students of five different State Junior High School in Lamongan, East Java. The data was collected through written test using Three-tier Test and administered once. The results showed that students encounter misconceptions in 6 concepts of heat comprising energy, heat, temperature, mass, specific heat capacity, vaporizing, boiling, pressure, boiling point, freezing, and freezing point. Moreover, the results showed that 88% of the students encounter misconception, where the most frequently appeared is misconception about energy and heat that is objects could have a certain quantity of heat in them.
