Abstract

It has been done a research to investigate condition of student?s conceptions in the domain of mechanics. Identification was carried out by using the FCI empowered by CRI. FCI version 1995 is a diagostic-test consists of 30 multiple choice items with 5 options. Beside only a correct choice, four other choices are form of misconceptions that are dominant in mechanics. The subjects consisted of 73 student teachers of Physics Education Department of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education from two different campuses. The results of the research provided that the conditions of respondents? conception are in serious problem, i.e. 18.01 %. The lowest score was obtained in an item related to the concept of impetus. Respondents have a strong impetus concept, a view back to the days of pre-Galilian that ?force? is necessary to keep an object moving. Analysis by CRI revealed that students had a strong misconception associated with 29 questions and lack of knowledge about 1 question. Classically 61.51 %, 25.25 %, and 13.24 % respondents classified respectively as misconceptions, lack of knowledge, and have correct concepts. Although the most respondents have mistakes to aswer question related to concept of impetus, but the highest misconceptions, 87.67 %, is shown when answering question number 1, i.e. the heavier objects fall faster, the same conception as of the understanding of Aristotelian mechanics. It is suggested further research to explore student conceptions for each topic in mechanics domain to formulate appropriate conceptual change learning strategies for based-class remediation.
