Abstrak : Pembelajaran yang telah dialami oleh mahasiswa baik di sekolah menengah maupun di perguruan tinggi masih menyisakan ketidakpahaman konsep dan bahkan miskonsepsi yang kuat. Oleh sebab pembelajaran seharusnya difokuskan pada upaya untuk melakukan perubahan konseptual terhadap konsep-konsep yang masih salah dipahami oleh mahasiswa. Perubahan konseptual tersebut dapat terjadi, jika mahasiswa menyadari adanya ketidaksesuaian antara peristiwa-peristiwa yang pernah dialami dengan ekspektasi intelektual mereka. Kesadaran terhadap adanya ketidaksesuaian tersebut dapat menyebabkan mahasiswa mengalami konflik kognitif dan hal ini merupakan langkah pertama dalam perubahan konseptual, yaitu kesadaran terhadap adanya kontradiksi yang diikuti dengan kesadaran akan adanya kebutuhan untuk melakukan perubahan.Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka pembelajaran dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan model perubahan konseptual dengan pendekatan konflik kognitif (MPK-PKK), agar mahasiswa benar-benar menyadari bahwa ada konflik kognitif yang terjadi pada dirinya sehingga proses perubahan konseptual yang diharapkan dapat terjadi.Model pembelajaran ini telah dikembangkan oleh peneliti beserta instrumennya dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menjelaskan kondisi proses berpikir yang harus dimiliki mahasiswa agar terjadi perubahan konseptual, serta untuk mengetahui besarnya konflik kognitif yang terjadi pada mahasiswa pada saat pembelajaran. Model pembelajaran ini telah di validasi pada kegiatan FGD (Focused Group Discussion) yang dilakukan di Pascasarjana Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) dan menghasilkan rekomendasi bahwa model ini layak di aplikasikan pada kegiatan pembelajaran di sekolah dan di perguruan tinggi. Kata kunci: Model perubahan konseptual, pendekatan konflik kognitifAbstract : Learning that has been experienced by student in both high school and college still not understanding the concept remains strong and even misconception. Therefore, learning should be focused on efforts to make conceptual changes to the concepts that are still misunderstood by students. The conceptual change can occur, if the student is of the discrepancy between the events experienced by their intellectual expectations. Awareness of the existence of such mismatch can cause students to experience cognitive conflict and this is the first step in conceptual change. Based on this, the learning can be done by using a model of conceptual change by cognitive conflict approach (MPK-PKK), so that student truly realize that there is cognitive conflict that occurred to him that the process of conceptual change is expected to occur. This learning model has been developed by researchers and instruments as well as to determine the level of cognitive conflict that occurred in students during a lessons. This learning model has been validated on FGD (Focused Group Discussion) conducted on the Graduate University of Yogyakarta (UNY) and resulted in a recommendation that this model is feasible in applied learning activities in school and in college.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the CCM-CCA learning model that has been validated by physicist education through Focused Group Discussions (FGD) activities, and the validation results are valid in content and construct. The research design used follows the Education Research and Development method. The development of models starting from designing the model until implementing the model. Test the effectiveness of the model measured by the results of analysis of observational data and interview results on the occurrence of conceptual changes in students. Observation and interview data refers to the thought process experienced by students as a condition for conceptual change. The results of the study showed that students who were the subjects of the study experienced the four (4) thought processes that were the conditions for conceptual change. These results indicate that the CCM-CCA learning model is an effective learning model for facilitating the occurrence of student conceptual changes from wrong conceptions into scientific conceptions (physicist conception) about the concept of force
