Abstract

This study aim is to identifying the childrens' idea of the heat and temperature in their daily activity. Heat and temperature is the physic concept that easily found in children daily life. Knowing children idea is important to fix misconception because they bring the concept by themselves experience. A descriptive-qualitative design with observation has been implemented to gather data from 44 (5-6 years) children in three kindergartens in Tasikmalaya. The result showed that the children in early years understanding temperature as qualitative notion that they can sense rather than qualitative notion. Some case children use the same terms to describe the different temperature. This result can give description about children's prior idea related heat and temperature to avoid or fix the misconception in the next level education. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
