Analisis Miskonsepsi Siswa SMP pada Konsep Getaran dan Gelombang

Abstract

This research was motivated by the result of the 2018/2019 national examination at junior high school in Serang District on the concepts of wave, electricity, and magnetism which obtained low scores. The aim of this studi was to determine how the misconceptions of Junior High School students on the concept of vibrations and waves using the four tiers test. This research was conducted at SMP of Serang District. The research method was a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design, and the sample in this study was 60 students from one class selected from the three schools in the district of Serang. The instrument used are the four-tier diagnostic test questions, expert validation sheets, and student interviews guidelines. The results showed that there were misconceptions of junior high school students on the concept of vibration and waves in Serang district by 58,7% in the medium category. The highest percentage of misconceptions is in the indicators distinguishing the characteristics of transverse waves and longitudinal waves of 64,2% (height), the lowest percentage was found in indicators of determining the shape of transverse waves and longitudinal waves, analyzing the relationship between wavelength, frequency, period, and wave speed is 56,7% (medium). The causes of misconceptions come from students, teachers, and the environment such as classmates.

Identification of Students' Misconceptions in Junior High Schools Accredited A using the Three Tier Test Instrument in Science Learning

“…One of the most important areas of science and technology is physics (Utami et al, 2023). Physical science plays a role in the development of sciences and technologies that help people live a better life (Haerunnisa et al, 2022). Knowledge is an important thing that focuses on problems.…”

The Development of Web Diagnostic Test as a Misconception Tool in Work and Energy

“…If students do not understand the basic concepts, it is likely that students will have difficulty understanding a more complex concept (Ulandari et al 2022;Sarini & Selamet 2022). So educators need to overcome this so that it does not have a negative impact on student learning outcomes (Haerunnisa et al 2022;Mellu & Baok 2020). educators must have competence and better understanding to avoid students from misunderstandings and develop appropriate instruments in identifying student misunderstandings.…”

Digital Game to Support the Effectiveness of Using Interactive e-Module on Vibration and Waves Concept (IeMVWC)

“…The abstract characteristics of the material are one reason why this material is difficult for students to learn (Purwaningsih, 2015). In previous research, it was found that students experienced misconceptions and difficulties in solving problems related to vibration and wave material (Astuti et al, 2020;Haliza & Hadi, 2022;Haerunnisa et al, 2022). Therefore, the content of vibration and wave material has to be presented more varied and interactive in the form of text, images, audio, animation, video, quizzes, simulations, e-worksheets, digital games, and also automatic assessments.…”
