Research aims to find out misconceptions experienced by students on the subject matter of substance pressure. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research using a survey method. The instrumental test used was a three-tier diagnostic test to determine the under-examined misconceptions.

The results of the study were as follows: (1) 9% of the students understood the concept, 51% of the students had a misconception, 34% of the students were lack of knowledge, and 6% of the students had some errors (2) misconceptions with the highest percentage were in the sub-concept of pressure gases with an average percentage of 70%, then the pressure of liquids (capillarity and osmosis in plant stems) was 52%, the pressure of solids was 51%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
