Abstract

This study was designed to identify physics learning difficulties and misconceptions of work and energy among senior high school students. It was conducted by administering a set of reasoning-based diagnostic test to a group of senior high school students. The test consists of 35 multiple choice problems with space to write down the reasons and confidence level (%) of student in resolving the problem. The results were analyzed by the lost of the learning continuum and hierarchy of matter prerequisite, as well as reasoning used and confidence level (%) of student in resolving the problem to identify learning difficulties and misconceptions. The findings revealed that most of the students who were the subject of this study are: (1) experiencing learning difficulties, either in understanding of certain physics concepts as well as the application of mathematics concepts to resolving physics problems. (2) having misconceptions about some concepts of physics, especially those that have a relationship very closely, both functionally and the similarity of the term.
