Abstract

Diagnosing students' conceptions is valuable for assessing their level of understanding and preventing misconceptions. The four-tier test is a diagnostic instrument to identify students' misconceptions based on confidence levels in their answers. Misconceptions refer to concepts that students comprehend but do not align with scientific understanding, Reproduction in plants is one of the subjects that can reveal misconceptions. Reproduction in plants is one of the subjects that can reveal misconceptions. a set of four-tier multiple-choice questions was distributed to 101 9th-grade students who had previously studied the topic. Students' conceptions were classified into categories: scientific knowledge, false positives, false negatives, misconceptions, and lack of knowledge. Data analysis was conducted using MS Excel to calculate percentages and frequencies. The results demonstrate that higher percentage of scientific knowledge, notably 48.25%, in contrast to misconceptions, accounting for 14.9%. However, one particular subtopic, fertilization in plants and seed dispersal, exhibited the highest occurrence of misconceptions. To address identified misconceptions, teachers should establish connections between the material and real-life situations, engage students in projects and discussions, and openly discuss misconceptions. Additionally, introducing Latin terminology related to the subject matter can help familiarize students with the language used in the material. By implementing these strategies, teachers can effectively address misconceptions, promote a deeper understanding of plant reproduction.
