Abstract

Recently, students are still experiencing difficulties and obstacles in the concept of physics. This is due to a lack of correct understanding of students or may be teachers' poor understanding to the concept so that the incorrect concept planting to students happened. Improper understanding or submission of a concept is called misconception. Therefore, to form the well concept of students, one of the models that can improve the conceptual level of students is with guided inquiry which is combined with the practicum, simulation and real practicum (PSR). The purpose of this research is to know the influence of guided inquiry model combined with PSR to decrease students' misconception. The method used in this research is the strong design through t test to see the effect of learning model and PSR to student misconception. This research shows there is influence of IT and PSR to student misconception. Thus IT and PSR can be recommended to improve students' conception. The implications of this study are to provide an overview of students' misconceptions reduction with appropriate learning models combined with PSR. © 2018 Author(s).
