Abstract

Misconceptions are one of the main barriers in learning Natural Science (IPA) in elementary schools, especially regarding the matter of states of matter and their changes. A misunderstanding of basic concepts can lead to difficulties for students in studying advanced IPA material. This study aims to identify the level of misconceptions among fourth-grade elementary school students regarding the topic of states of matter and their changes, as well as to provide an overview of which subtopics most frequently generate misconceptions. The method used is quantitative descriptive, employing a two-tier diagnostic test method consisting of multiple-choice questions and open-ended reasons. The research was conducted at Godean 2 Public Elementary School, with a total of 54 respondents from two classes. The results indicate that misconceptions occurred in all tested subtopics, with details: changes in states of matter (69%), types of states of matter (63%), and characteristics of states of matter (39%) The subtopic of changes in state of matter is the area with the highest level of misconceptions. Students have difficulty understanding scientific concepts such as the order of changes in state, the difference between evaporation and boiling, and the effect of temperature on substances. These results indicate the need for more contextual and visual learning, such as direct demonstrations, simple experiments, and the use of digital media. Routine use of diagnostic tests is also recommended to detect and address misconceptions early to support better understanding of science concepts.

Abstract

Learning in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes meaningful learning through active student involvement to build scientific conceptual understanding. However, in practice, elementary school students still experience misconceptions, particularly on the topic of states of matter and their changes. This study aims to determine the validity of the MatterPlay interactive teaching material developed to reduce misconceptions in IPAS learning. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method by adapting the 4D development model proposed by Thiagarajan, which consists of the define, design, development, and disseminate stages; however, this study was conducted only up to the development stage. The validation process involved two validators, namely a media expert and a subject matter expert, using a four-point Likert scale assessment instrument. The results showed that MatterPlay obtained a validity score of 94% from the media expert and 100% from the material expert, both categorized as very valid. Therefore, MatterPlay is considered valid and feasible to be used in IPAS learning in elementary schools.
