Abstract

This study aims to analyze the misconceptions of prospective physics teacher students on the topic of the period of lunar phases. The sample of the research comprised 64 participants of physics teacher students at Universitas Sriwijaya, Indonesia. The instrument used to collect the data was the LPCI (Lunar Phases Inventory Concept) diagnostic test modified consisted of 20 multiple choice questions accompanied by open reasons and equipped with CRI (Certainty of Response Index) with a scale of 0-5. Such a test is also known as a three-tier test. It was found that the average score of students from the test results was quite good, namely 58.33%. In addition, it was also obtained that 33.85% of students experienced misconceptions on the material of the period of the moon’s cycle phases, 33.33% of students did not understand the concept, and as many as 32.81% of students understood the concept correctly. Instructors should consider the students’ misconceptions to develop appropriate teaching strategies.
