Analysis of Interview Results on The Remediation Process of The Dynamic Equilibrium Concept With The Representation-Metacognitive Reinforcement Conceptual Change Model (R-MR CCM)

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to determine conceptions and changes in conceptions and analyze the results of interviews regarding the remediation process of the dynamic equilibrium concept.   Theoretical Framework: Theories associated with student misconceptions, methods for identifying student misconceptions, and methods for resolving student misconceptions.   Method: The method used in this study is a mixed method which is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, namely the Concurrent Embedded Strategy, which is a combination of qualitative methods and quantitative methods carried out at the same time. This method is very useful for students to find out the conceptions and misconceptions that occur in students.   Results and Discussion: After conducting interviews and tests on respondents, the results of the analysis were obtained in the form of misconceptions among respondents that could be identified in the test and interview results at the stage of creating cognitive conflict and respondents could realize the misconceptions experienced after going through the stage of providing assistance for equilibration and using metacognition on an example of a concept so that respondents could dispelling misconceptions altogether.   Research Implications: To reduce students' misconceptions about chemical equilibrium material, it is necessary to carry out research on this. With this gradual test instrument, students can get instant feedback and correct any misconceptions they have.   Originality/Value: To provide insight into students' perceptions of the misconceptions they experience and how to reduce existing misconceptions. Apart from that, it is to provide insight to teachers regarding how to identify and reduce misconceptions that occur in students.
