Abstract

Misconceptions caused by many factors, based on previous observation is the difficulty of students in visualizing or imagining the concept given, thus obstructing students to achieve the goal of physics learning. Misconceptions can occur in a variety of physics matter such as newton's law of gravitation. This research aimed to know the effectiveness of implementation interactive conceptual instruction (ICI) with computer simulation to overcome students' misconceptions about newton's law of gravitation. The sample of this research are 35 students in 10th grade which choose by using purposive sampling, and the instrument used to identify students' misconceptions is four-tier diagnostic test. The method research used is quasi experiment with research design is one group pretest-posttest design. The results show that the value of n-gain is in moderate range. So, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of implementation ICI with computer simulation can overcome students' misconceptions about newton's law of gravitation. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
