Analysis of Students Misconception in Chemical Equilibrium Material Using Three Tier Test

Abstract

<jats:p>This study aimed to analyze students misconception seen from the relationship between the results of the three tier test and interviews about chemical equilibrium material on the concept of determining the formula Kc, Kp, and the concept of Kc calculation. The research method was descriptive qualitative method. The data collection technique in this study was a test. The research instrument was in the form of three tier test questions consisted of four concepts. The misconceptions were analyzed based on the result of tests given to 30 students were further clarified by interviewing as matching answers. The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Wonosari in Gunungkidul Regency with five interviewed research subjects. The result showed that students experienced misconceptions about the concept of determining the Kc formula by 23.33%, determining the Kp formula by 13,33%, and concept of Kc calculation by 16,67%.</jats:p>

Interactive Digital Teaching Module Based on Differentiated Instruction and Its Impact on Students' Problem-Solving Skills

“…The results obtained are in accordance with previous research, which stated that the use of three-tier tests in chemistry lessons was able to have a positive impact on the analysis of students' initial conceptual understanding. Through the test results, teachers can find out the initial steps taken in the learning process, including determining learning methods and media that suit students' learning styles (Khairunnisa & Prodjosantoso, 2020;Mellyzar, 2021).…”

The Effectiveness of The Six Tier Diagnostic Test (STDT) Instrument in Viewed from Empirical Validity to Identify Student's Misconceptions in Chemical Equilibrium Materials

“…Usu (2019), Siswaningsih (2019), andHarza (2021) argued that students often experience misconceptions about chemical equilibrium, especially in the dynamic equilibrium subtopic. Siswaningsih (2017), Jusniar (2019), Yamtinah (2019), Khairunnisa & Prodjosantoso (2020), Andriani, et al, (2020), and Jusniar (2020 suggested that apart from dynamic equilibrium, misconceptions about chemical equilibrium also occur in the sub-topics of equilibrium shifts and equilibrium constants. The research results regarding misconceptions about other chemical equilibriums developed by Omilani and Elebute (2020) suggest that misconceptions about chemical equilibrium material also occur in the sub-topic of factors that influence shifts in equilibrium.…”

Student’s Misconception Profile of First Semester 10th Grade on Biology

“…The student's misconception must be identified then remedied so it will not interfere the further learning. In fact, misconceptions can be caused by information from the internet that is received by students [3], [4]. Pearsall, et al [5] shows there is a significant correlation between initial knowledge of biology concept with further learning.…”
