Eliminate Misconception in Learning

Abstract

This article aims to examine the actions taken by the teacher to eliminate misconceptions in learning, the focus of which is to explore the actions taken by the teacher towards students either through learning media or learning models. Three strategies are used to identify the studies included in the review: (a) search for reference databases, (b) journal searches, and (c) prior research searches (i.e. review of reference lists from relevant literature reviews and relevant articles). The literature review was conducted to find methods developed to eliminate student misconceptions. The conclusion is that students' ability to understand concepts must be supported by learning media or learning methods so that misconceptions do not occur. Especially if the sub-subjects are required to do lab work. Then the practicum becomes mandatory, if not, students will experience difficulties in understanding, especially if it is only limited to the concepts described verbally.
