Abstract

This study aims to identify the location and factors that cause science misconceptions experienced by students. By using a qualitative approach. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. This study involved 20 fifth grade students at UPT SD Negeri 16 Gresik in the 2024/2025 school year who had learned photosynthesis material, digestive system, force and motion. The results showed that there were 30% of participants experiencing misconceptions in photosynthesis material, 16.5% of students experienced misconceptions in digestive system material and in force and motion material, 11% of students experienced misconceptions. The factors that cause misconceptions experienced by students are caused by internal and external factors. Internal factors such as students' lack of thinking ability, low motivation of students during learning, students' lack of understanding of the material and lack of confidence. External factors such as methods used during learning and limited learning resources. Based on this research it is recommended that teachers emphasize things that are demonstrations, concrete examples and discussions on photosynthesis material, digestive system, force and motion so that students can think more critically and actively in class learning activities. Teachers can also provide different learning models and prepare interactive learning media. Schools must provide habituation to reading books in the library. In addition, research related to science misconceptions in other materials is highly expected to be carried out, because to identify misconceptions, develop effective learning strategies and increase teacher awareness. This shows that, although students have learned these materials in class, misconceptions still occur.
