    Abstract

    Penelitian ini menganalisis kesalahpahaman tentang Bumi dan Sistem Tata Surya di kalangan siswa SMP di Bandung Barat menggunakan tes diagnostik empat tingkatan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis dan penyebab kesalahpahaman, dengan fokus pada setiap subtopik yang memiliki kesalahpahaman umum. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya identifikasi dan koreksi dini untuk mendukung pemahaman ilmiah siswa dan meningkatkan hasil pendidikan sains. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei cross-sectional digunakan. Data dikumpulkan dari 509 siswa kelas 8 di 17 sekolah menggunakan tes diagnostik empat tingkatan, yang dikembangkan dari jawaban terbuka menjadi pertanyaan pilihan ganda terstruktur. Tanggapan siswa dianalisis menggunakan lima kategori: Pengetahuan Ilmiah (SK), Positif Palsu (FP), Negatif Palsu (FN), Kesalahpahaman (M), dan Kekurangan Pengetahuan (LK). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 32,61% siswa kekurangan pengetahuan, 20,94% memiliki kesalahpahaman, dan hanya 24,84% menunjukkan pengetahuan ilmiah. Kesalahpahaman yang paling umum muncul dalam tiga subtopik: dalam Sistem Tata Surya, siswa percaya Venus adalah planet terpanas karena kedekatannya dengan Matahari; dalam Bumi dan Satelit, banyak yang mengira siang dan malam disebabkan oleh revolusi Bumi; dan dalam Mendekati Matahari, siswa salah memahami bintik matahari sebagai area yang lebih terang di permukaan Matahari. Temuan ini menyoroti kebutuhan akan strategi pengajaran yang lebih baik. Studi ini merekomendasikan penggunaan tes diagnostik empat tingkat setelah siswa menyelesaikan topik dan menekankan pentingnya bahasa yang jelas, penguasaan materi oleh guru, serta penggunaan alat visual seperti model 3D dan animasi untuk mengatasi konsep ilmiah abstrak secara efektif. This Research analyzes misconception about Earth and Solar System among junior high school students in West Bandung using a Four-tier diagnostic test. It aims to identify types and causes of misconceptions, focusing on each subtopic has common misconception. The research emphasizes the importance of early identification and correction to support students’ scientific understanding and improve science education outcomes. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was used. Data were collected from 509 8th-grade students across 17 schools using a four-tier diagnostic test, developed from open-ended responses into structured multiple-choice questions. Student responses were analyzed using five categories: Scientific Knowledge (SK), False Positive (FP), False Negative (FN), Misconception (M), and Lack of Knowledge (LK). Results showed that 32.61% of students lacked knowledge, 20.94% held misconceptions, and only 24.84% demonstrated scientific knowledge. The most common misconceptions appeared in three subtopics: in the Solar System, students believed Venus is the hottest planet due to its proximity to the Sun; in Earth and Satellite, many thought day and night are caused by Earth’s revolution; and in Getting Closer to the Sun, students misconception sunspots as brighter areas on the Sun’s surface. These findings highlight the need for improved instructional strategies. The study recommends using the four-tier diagnostic test after students have completed the topic and emphasizes the importance of clear language, teacher content mastery, and the use of visual tools such as 3D models and animations to effectively address abstract scientific concepts.
