Remediation of misconception on straight line motion concept using guided inquiry model assisted by student worksheet based on science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) on junior high school students

Abstract

This study aims to remediate science misconceptions on the concept of straight line motion using guided inquiry models assisted by Student Worksheet Based on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This study uses an experimental method with one shoot case study technique. The test instrument in the form of three tiers multiple choice test questions was used to identify students’ misconceptions of straight line motion concept. The results showed that students’ misconceptions on straight line motion concept amounted to 47.30%. Remediation of science misconceptions through the implementation of guided inquiry models assisted by Student Worksheet Based on STEM showed the results of students’ concept understanding in the conceptual understanding category of 58.58%, misconceptions of 25.49%, guessed 3.19%, and did not understand 12.75%. It was concluded that the application of the guided inquiry model assisted by Student Worksheet Based on STEM could be applied as an alternative learning model to remediate science misconceptions.
