Abstract

This study aimed (1) to calculate the percentage of students who understand concepts, having misconceptions, and don’t understand concepts, (2) to identify students’ misconceptions of acid and base concept, and (3) to test the effectiveness of PDEODE (Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain) instruction strategy in correcting students’ misconceptions of acid and base concept. This research uses descriptive and pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 37 students of 11th grade IPA 4 MAN 1 Kudus. The misconceptions are identified using modified CRI (Certainty of Response Index) techniques and explored through semistructured interviews to get deep informations. The effectiveness of PDEODE instruction strategy was determined from the analysis of paired samples t-test. The results of this study are: (1) the level of students’ misconception of acid and base concept changed significantly after was repaired by PDEODE instruction strategy and (2) there were 45 kinds of students’ misconceptions of the subconcepts: characteristics of acids and bases, acid and base theories, strength of acid and base, neutralization reaction, and pH of solution

Abstract

Conceptual understanding is very important for the preservice teachers to master it. Stoichiometry is one of the basic concepts in chemistry which applied to almost concepts. This study aims to determine the percentage of students who understand the concept, not understand the concept, and having misconceptions in stoichiometry. Furthermore, this research purposes to identify the type of misconceptions. To investigate students’ conceptual understanding, we use a modified CRI technique (diagnostic test with multiple choice and open reason with the scale of confidence level) and interview. The results show that the average percentage of students who understood the concept is 53.96%, having misconception is 16.20% and did not understand the concept is 29.83%. There are 19 types of misconceptions. The causes of misconceptions include deficiency impediment, ontological impediment, and fragmentation impediment.
