Abstract
Difficulty understanding students' concepts needs to be known so that improvements can be made so that eventually students can master the concepts well. Misconception diagnostic tests can be an alternative to uncovering causes or factors of misconception in students. This study aims to develop a Four-Tier Test diagnostic test instrument to diagnose students' misconceptions on vibration and wave material to adapt the Mechanical Waves Conceptual Survey by Thongchai which has content compatibility with the segmentation of Indonesian curriculum material. This research is a development study using 3D development models. The 3D development model consists of 3 stages, namely: 1) Define, 2) Design and 3) Develop. The developed four-tier test diagnostic test instrument consists of 22 multiple-choice questions. The results of the content validation by three experts stated that the instrument was very feasible with an average percentage of 87%. Empirical trial results show as many as 22 valid diagnostic test items have enough to good power a level of difficulty and discrimination power. The reliability of the questions was analyzed using the Kuder Richardson formula of 0.765 with a high category. This instrument can be used to minimize the time spent in the process of identifying misconceptions because it is in the form of multiple-choice with varied questions.
Highlights
The concept is an abstract framework of the characteristics of things, objects, events or phenomena, situations, which are understood and facilitates communication between human beings that involve thinking processes
This study aims to develop a four-tier diagnostic test on vibration and wave material that adapts the Mechanical Waves Conceptual Survey content (Tongchai, Sharma, Johnston, Arayathanitkul and Soankwan 2009)
The defining steps taken by the researchers are: 1) The research subjects are high school students of class XI Science, 2) The form of the test in the form of four-tier test, 3) the test instrument has 22 items about questions, and 4) The test material is vibration and wave
Summary
The concept is an abstract framework of the characteristics of things, objects, events or phenomena, situations, which are understood and facilitates communication between human beings that involve thinking processes (cognitive). Categorization is an important cognitive function and plays a key role in our understanding and ability to draw conclusions or make predictions (Prince, M, Vigeant, M, & Nottis, K 2012). Mastery of good concepts is very closely related to learning achievement and scientific consistency. Both are very important where learning achievement is an indicator of comprehensive learning outcomes while scientific consistency is the basis for the discipline to apply scientific principles (Krishnayanti, R, Feranie, S, & Padri, IM 2015; Permata, A, Feranie, S, & Karim, S 2015). Mastery of concepts is one of the most important parts to consider in learning
