Abstract

Chemical equilibrium is one of the concepts in chemistry that often leads to misconceptions. A study was conducted to investigate students misconceptions on the topic of chemical equilibrium using a four-tier diagnostic test instrument. This research aims to analyze the level of misconceptions among students regarding the complex and challenging chemistry material, which results in misconceptions, specifically chemical equilibrium. The research method employed is a descriptive quantitative. The subjects of this study were 100 high school science students from SMAN 1 Gambut and MAN 3 Banjar in the Banjar Regency for the academic year 2023/2024. Data collection was carried out using a four-tier diagnostic test instrument consisting of 12 questions, categorizing the understanding of concepts into four categories: complete understanding, partial understanding, lack of understanding, and misconceptions. Data analysis techniques involved converting the results of the students' four-tier diagnostic test into percentage data. The results showed that at SMAN 1 Gambut, 14.29% of students experienced misconceptions, whereas at MAN 3 Banjar, 16.09% of students experienced misconceptions. The dynamic equilibrium material had the highest misconception rate at 18.31%, while the equilibrium shift material had the lowest misconception rate at 11.76%. It was concluded that students' misconceptions fall into the low category. It is recommended to conduct further research with a larger and more diverse sample to obtain more comprehensive data and better generalizations regarding students misconceptions.
