Abstract

This study is to analyze the students’ conceptual change on the kinetic theory of gases afterward learning with a computer simulation-assisted conceptual change model. CS-CCM consists of six phases; 1) commit to a position 2) expose beliefs 3) confront belief 4) accommodate the concept 5) extend the concept 6) go beyond. CS-CCM was conducted to 27 students (average age of 17 years old) who came from one of high school in Belitung. The research method was pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used a four-tiers test-kinetic theory of gases (FT-KTG) consisting of 11 questions and the results of the test categorized into five categories of students’ conceptions, consisting of; sound understanding (SU), partial understanding (PU), misconception (MC), no understanding (NU), and not being encoded (UC). Students’ conceptual change is based on students’ pre-test and post-test conception profiles. There are six types of changes in students conceptions; reinterpretation (Ri), revision (Rv), construction (Co), disorientation (Di), scientific conception from the beginning (Sc), and static (St). The results show that 86% of students whose conceptual change are in the “satisfying category” and CS-CCM is effective can be used as a learning model to change students' conceptual
