Abstract

Learning of physics always related to conceptual understanding. In the learning process, there can be a difference in conceptual understanding that causes misconceptions. Misconceptions can occur in a variety of physics material, including on momentum and impulse. The purpose of this study was to investigate students' misconceptions about momentum and impulse through Interactive Conceptual Instruction with computer simulation. This study was conducted to 10th grade consists of 30 students. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The method used is quasi-experimental with research design is one group pre-test and post-test. The instrument used to investigate students' misconceptions is form four-tier diagnostic test. The result shows that misconceptions before treatment higher than after treatment. It can be concluded that Interactive Conceptual Instruction with computer simulation is better in facilitating student learning process on momentum and impulse. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
