Abstract

A major problem in education is misconceptions. The Four-Tier Diagnostic Test is one way to identify misconceptions. Since no research uses the Four-Tier Diagnostic Test to assess force and motion, the particular study aimed to investigate students’ conceptions of force and motion topics by using a four-tier diagnostic test with secondary school students and to identify the concept of force and motion topics about which most students hold misconceptions. The instrument was developed through several steps, including a preliminary study, content validity with three experts, construct validity, and reliability, resulting in 17 questions from an initial 28 questions. This research evaluated 174 students using a cross-sectional survey design and convenience sampling. The research shows that the students’ conceptions are 27.92% Scientific Knowledge, 27.92% False Positive, 6.76% False Negative, 18.59% Misconceptions, and 23.9% Lack of Knowledge. Most students have misconceptions about displacement, Newton’s law, and vectors. Also, this research included a semi-structured interview with a teacher who revealed some reasons the students demonstrate these categories of conceptions. The findings implied that the scientific knowledge conceptions of students are important, especially in physics, and teachers find the effective teaching strategy for students to increase their scientific knowledge.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the progress of ethnoscience research published on Google Scholar between 1966 and 2023, utilizing a computational bibliometric analysis approach with the assistance of the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer applications. Parameters including title, publication type, keywords, Citation, and year range were utilized to select the relevant data obtained from the Publish or Perish applications, resulting in a compilation of 252 articles related to the chosen theme, each spanning a period of 10 years, starting from theory, society, culture, and education, up to chemistry and physic subjects, supported by highly cited journal findings. The trending topics in the field of education are approaches and learning media. Based on the gathered data, it is evident that there are still numerous opportunities for further research in the field of Ethnoscience. The utilization of the VOSviewer application can aid in identifying problematic areas that can be explored as potential research innovation topics within the field of ethnoscience. Future research should explore the integration of ethnoscience with sustainability, digital learning, and global challenges while addressing gaps in knowledge and underrepresented contexts.
