EKSPLORASI MISKONSEPSI FUNGSI DENGAN MULTIPLE CHOICE THREE TIER DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Abstract
This study uses a multiple-choice, three-tier diagnostic test to describe the misconceptions experienced by eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Tarakan. This test is designed to detect misconceptions. The test consists of three components: 1) questions and answers, 2) reasoning, and 3) beliefs. This study employs a qualitative case study approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on considerations relevant to the research objectives. The participants selected were two students known to have misconceptions. The data collection techniques used in this study included assignments, document analysis, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted based on the work of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The data validity was ensured through triangulation of techniques and member checking. The results of the study showed that both participants had two types of misconceptions: 1) factual misconceptions, or inconsistencies between theory and facts regarding the definition of a function, and 2) misconceptions of conceptual understanding, or errors in interpreting concepts in the definitions of an ordered pair set and range.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan miskonsepsi yang dialami oleh siswa kelas VIII-J SMP Negeri 2 Tarakan dengan multiple choice three tier diagnostic test. Multiple choice three tier diagnostic test digunakan untuk mendeteksi terjadinya miskonsepsi. Tes tersebut terdiri dari terdiri dari 1) pertanyaan dan jawaban, 2) penalaran dan 3) keyakinan. Metode yang diterapkan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pemilihan partisipan dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling, yaitu berdasarkan pertimbangan tertentu yang relevan dengan tujuan penelitian. Oleh karena itu, partisipan yang dipilih terdiri dari dua siswa yang diketahui mengalami miskonsepsi. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini mencakup pemberian tugas, analisis dokumen, dan wawancara. Analisis data yang dilakukan mengacu pada Miles, Huberman dan Saldana. Keabsahan data yang digunakan adalah triangulasi teknik dan member checking. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua partisipan mengalami miskonsepsi yang berupa : 1) miskonsepsi berdasarkan fakta (factual misconception), yaitu ketidaksesuaian teori dan fakta terhadap definisi fungsi; 2) miskonsepsi pemahaman konseptual yang salah (early conceptunder standing), yaitu kesalahan penafsiran konsep pada suatu definisi himpunan pasangan berurutan dan definisi range.
