The main purpose in this research is to analyse student conception about heat and temperature used four tier test question, the test consists of three question including material about temperature, temperature and heat, as well specific heat. The research has been implemented by using purposive sampling technique. The participants consisted of 67 secondary students including (23 male students and 44 female students) of senior high school in Bungo city. After the analysis obtained the largest percentage of student conception id in the category of misconception such as: (1) Objects that feel colder to the touch must be lower in temperature than objects that feel warmer to the touch; (2) Objects that have a higher temperature must have more calorific content than objects with lower temperatures; (3) Objects that are easier to increase in temperature when heated, it will be more difficult to decrease the temperature when cooled. One way to reduce student misconceptions of concept in temperature and heat material is to facilitate student learning using conceptual change model, conceptual change text or Refutation text.
