Misconceptions can be caused due to a
person's low understanding of a concept, as a result it
will influence a person in understanding and connecting
between existing knowledge principles. Several studies
were conducted to find out what strategies can be used
to reduce student misconceptions, especially in
chemistry lessons. The purpose of this study is to
describe the concept profile of students after using the
POGIL learning model to reduce student
misconceptions. The subjects in this study were students
of class XI.1 Science who had received chemistry
learning about chemical equilibrium. The data
collection instruments used included observation sheets
of learning activities and tests of understanding the
concept of multiple choice reasoned and accompanied
by the level of confidence of students (three tier). Data
analysis was carried out descriptively with a three tier
diagnostic test. The results of the analysis of the
student's misconception profile that have been obtained
are then mapped individually and personally. The
results showed that the profile of students 'conception
after learning using the POGIL learning model, most of
the students' conceptions experienced positive changes
with the translation of students with initial
misconceptions, not knowing the concept changed to
knowing the concept, and students who remained on the
profile knew the concept but still there are students who
are still in the misconception profile. Through the
results of this study, it is hoped that it will be useful for
education practitioners in choosing alternative learning
strategies in delivering chemical equilibrium subject
matter and as a reference for overcoming students who
are still experiencing misconceptions.
