Abstract
Based on the interview carried out by the authors to the students in Senior High School 1 Sidoarjo, East Java on Physics subject, it was obtained the fact that the Physics lesson was considered as a difficult subject. The most reason was that Physics contained many formulas and concepts which were not clearly taught by the teacher. Such situation has potentially caused misconceptions to the students. This paper reports the work to identify the conceptions of 11th grade Science class students of Senior High School 1 Sidoarjo, East Java on Dynamic Fluid concepts using a four-tier format of misconception diagnostic test. The causes of misconceptions were analyzed based on the internal aspects of students, namely preconception, associative thinking, humanistic thinking, incomplete or wrong reasoning and wrong intuition. The instrument consists of 15 numbers of multiple choice questions. The results showed that most students have scientific conception while the rest experienced misconception. The most misconception occured on the Bernoulli’s Law and its applications due to incomplete reason.
