This research analyzes high school students' understanding of thermal concepts in East Java, focusing on identifying gender-based differences and misconceptions. A descriptive survey with a non-experimental cross-sectional design was conducted using the Thermal Concept Evaluation (TCE) instrument, distributed via Google Forms to 171 students (94 females and 77 males). Data were analyzed using the Rasch model with Winsteps software, providing a detailed diagnosis of student ability levels and item difficulties. The findings revealed significant misconceptions about thermal conductivity and thermal equilibrium, which were challenging for both genders. Male students demonstrated better comprehension of heat transfer and temperature change, while female students showed a slightly higher understanding of boiling concepts. Practical implications include the need for targeted instructional strategies, such as inquiry-based and problem-based learning, incorporating hands-on experiments and technology-based tools like simulations to visualize abstract thermal phenomena. Policymakers and educators are encouraged to adopt conceptual-based curricula, improve laboratory facilities, and provide teacher training programs to address misconceptions and bridge gender gaps in thermal physics education. These strategies aim to enhance students' understanding and prepare them for advanced applications in science and technology.

Through various policies, the Indonesian government has encouraged community culture to be included in the school curriculum, which is integrated into relevant subjects. One is physics learning, which is packaged with the term ethnophysics. The study of culture, local wisdom, and local potential in Indonesia has grown in recent years. However, more research needs to be done on physics learning so it impacts students' academic achievement. One of them is that students still need to be made aware of conceptual building, so they cannot explain a physics concept scientifically. This study aims to explore the nature and structure of students' naïve knowledge of physics and, more specifically, their understanding of physics parameters at work. This research is a qualitative study for students related to the concept of Keku. The results show that naivstudents are naive when constructing concepts related to Keku. Therefore, by direct teaching, teachers straighten out physics concepts related to Keku culture so that students can understand completely. As for the future, it is important to examine further students' prior knowledge related to emotional literacy, physics communication skills, and learning activities in development to overcome naive conceptions and misconceptions.
