Description:
This explorative-descriptive research is meant to identify and describe the students’ conception on the teaching materials of the Network of Direct Current Electric. Misconception here refers to the students’ conception that is different from that given by physician in explaining physical phenomenon and/or its technology. From the side of product, the learning materials of the Network of Electrics consist of rather abstrack concept so that many students have difficulties in comprehending it; consequently, the misconception occurs. Although they have memorized the physical formulas of Electrical Network, but they may have not comprehended the physic meaning of the physical formulas correctly. The physical concepts on which the students have made misconception, among others are electric current and its measurement, voltage and its measurement, characteristic of series network, and characteristic of parallel network.
