Abstract

Alternative conceptions become obstacles in physics. However, it is difficult to find instruments that can identify students' alternative conceptions, especially in gases kinetic theory (DIGaKiT). The purpose of this research was to development of diagnostic instrument of DIGaKiT in identifying students’ alternative conceptions by Rasch analysis model. The research method used the defining, designing, developing, and disseminating (4D). The samples are 31 students (12 male students and 19 female students, their ages were typically 16 years old) at one of the senior high schools at Belitung. Rasch analysis was used to identify the validity, reliability, and distribution of students' alternative conceptions. The result is that the level of validity and reliability of the instrument is in a good category. Meanwhile, alternative conceptions of the kinetic theory of gases can be identified in all questions, and the questions with the highest alternative conceptions are questions with code Q11 (77%) and the lowest are questions with codes Q1, Q5, and Q6 (4%). Therefore, teachers must design learning processes that can reduce students’ alternative conceptions of the kinetic theory of gases material.

Abstract

Misconceptions in physics education continue to pose significant challenges to meaningful learning among college students. This study aims to analyze the types, causes, and remediation strategies of physics misconceptions at the tertiary level through a systematic literature review. A total of 50 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2023 were selected from the Scopus database using bibliometric analysis tools, including Harzing's Publish or Perish and VosViewer. The review reveals five main types of student misconceptions: prejudice-based, non-scientific theories, conceptual misconceptions, vernacular misunderstandings, and factual errors. The most common causes include students' prior knowledge and ineffective instructional methods. The four-tier diagnostic test is found to be the most frequently used and effective tool in identifying misconceptions. Remediation strategies include conceptual change texts, simulation-based experiments, e-learning, and collaborative learning models. The study concludes that understanding and addressing misconceptions require both accurate diagnostic tools and innovative teaching strategies. This review contributes to physics education research by providing a comprehensive overview of misconception diagnostics and remediation approaches over the past five years.

Abstract

This study examines whether multiple-choice items can be used to measure students’ critical thinking in socio-scientific environmental issues, using global warming and renewable energy as contextual domains. To address this question, the Critical Thinking Instrument for Global Warming and Renewable Energy (CT-GREEN) was developed as a set of 40 multiple-choice items grounded in domain-specific critical thinking indicators. The instrument was designed following the ADDIE model and administered to 132 tenth-grade students in Bandung, West Java. Rasch modeling using Winsteps (version 4.5.0) was employed to examine construct dimensionality, item fit, and measurement reliability. The results show that 38 of the 40 items demonstrated acceptable fit to the Rasch model, while two items exhibited misfit and require revision. The raw variance explained by measures was 27.6%, indicating moderate unidimensionality, which is reasonable given the multifaceted nature of critical thinking. The instrument demonstrated high item reliability (0.94) and adequate person reliability (0.73), with a Cronbach’s alpha (KR-20) of 0.76, suggesting acceptable internal consistency for exploratory assessment purposes. Overall, the findings indicate that CT-GREEN demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties and provides preliminary evidence that well-designed multiple-choice items, when embedded in socio-scientific environmental contexts and analyzed using Rasch measurement, can be used to assess students’ critical thinking. However, further refinement and validation across broader populations are recommended before making stronger generalizations.

Abstract

This study aims to develop SCI-Fi (Science Creative Instrument in Fluids), an essay-based tool designed to accurately assess students’ creative thinking skills in physics by encouraging imagination and originality in problem-solving. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model. To evaluate its quality, item validation was conducted using the Rasch model with 95 student respondents.  The results show that SCI-Fi is valid and reliable, making it suitable for measuring creative thinking in physics. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for educators to identify students’ creative thinking profiles and plan targeted interventions, as well as for curriculum developers and researchers to promote creativity in physics education.
