“…Students' conceptual understanding is one of the classic problems that has been researched in the field of education, including the field of physics, until today (Istiyono et al, 2022;Özmen, 2024;Sukarelawan et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2023;Wahyuni et al, 2024). Conceptual understanding involves the ability to identify the patterns, relationships, and principles underlying those concepts.…”

“…Several approaches have been used to describe students' conceptual understanding. In classical test theory, the descriptive approach is more widely used and preferred because of its simplicity (Özmen, 2024;Sukarelawan et al, 2019;Tene et al, 2024). This approach provides an overview of students' general conceptual understanding at the group level (Soeharto et al, 2024;Zabidi et al, 2022) but cannot provide an individual-level overview.…”

This research aims to evaluate students' conceptual understanding in the field of physics, focusing on the concepts of heat and temperature, using the Person Diagnostic Map (PKMAPs) approach. This method allows individual assessment of students' conceptual understanding, going beyond the limitations of conventional analysis methods that focus on groups. This research used a survey involving eight students from a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected through a multiple-choice test of 20 items, processed using Ms. Excel and Winsteps 4.6.1. The research results show that PKMAPs are effective in identifying individual student understanding, including detecting "correct" response patterns resulting from guessing or cheating, as well as "incorrect" response patterns caused by incompetence or inaccuracy. This information allows educators to determine appropriate teaching methods, including remediation, re-teaching, or enrichment, according to each student's individual needs. This research concludes that using the Person Diagnostic Map in the context of physics education provides a more personal and effective approach to analyzing students' conceptual understanding. This method provides deeper insight into students' individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating more focused and effective learning planning.
