Analisis Kendala dalam Pemahaman Konsep pada Siswa Tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama

Abstract

This research aims to find out the constraints of understanding students' concepts in IPA learning at the junior high school level. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The study used a survey method using live interviews to science teacher subjects over the phone. The research was conducted in March 2019. Data analysis is done descriptively with the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and withdrawal of conclusions. The results showed that there were changes in concepts that occurred before and after the study was implemented. Concept changes in students can be easy and difficult due to the student's early knowledge factors, learning motivation and learning materials. Misconceptions in learning can also occur in difficult category materials for students.
