Abstract
This research aims to identify students’ pre-conceptions on artificial muscles context as a basis for developing a didactic design in artificial muscle learning, related to chemical contents studied in secondary school. This study employed a descriptive method that was presented quantitatively and qualitatively. The instrument used in this study was a test in the form of essay questions consisted of 7 discourses about artificial muscles. The participants of this study were 25 students from a secondary school in Bandung, West Java. The results of data analysis indicated that 76% of students fell in the category of “low understanding”. The analysis of students’ preconception was used and implemented in the development of a didactic design aiming at connecting artificial muscle context with the application of science and technology in chemistry learning at secondary schools.
