IDENTIFIKASI MISKONSEPSI PESERTA DIDIK PADA MATERI GERAK PARABOLA DI SMA TARUNA BUMI KHATULISTIWA

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to describe and find the causes of misconceptions among students at SMA Taruna
Bumi Khatulistiwa about parabolic motion. This misconception causes the learning objectives of
students at SMA Taruna Bumi Khatulistiwa not to be achieved. Based on the interview, there were
3 causes of misconceptions experienced by students at Taruna Bumi Khatuliwa Senior High
School that were expressed directly by the teaching teacher, including: 1.Lack of students'
numeracy skills in solving equations, 2. Students experiencing misconceptions in analyzing
phenomenon of parabolic motion, 3. Lack of student interest in learning physics, especially
parabolic motion. It is for this reason that the authors want to identify the causes and types of
misconceptions experienced by students at SMA Taruna Bumi Khatulistiwa. The method used is
a simple descriptive method with a sample of the entire population of class XI MIPA, as many as
55 people. Data collection uses diagnostic tests with open reasons and interviews. The results of
the analysis showed that students' misconceptions reached 41.57% about the motion of the
parabola and the rest did not answer the questions given. Based on the results of interviews with
students, the causes of misconceptions originating from the students themselves on parabolic
motion material include: students' initial conception, incomplete reasons and student abilities.
These findings are expected to be used as material for consideration in choosing the appropriate
treatment to overcome students' misconceptions.
