Abstract

The aims of this research is to develop a two-tier test instrument to diagnose students’ conceptual understanding abilities and knowing the level of student misconceptions on the topic of simple harmonic motion. The method in this research is 4D Research and Development (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) by Thiagarajan and Semmel. The define stage is to conduct a literature study and observation in determining the focus of the problem. The design and develop stage is a modification of test instrument development procedure from the Oriondo & Dallo-Antonio models, namely: (1) Test design, (2) Trying out, (3) Test assembly, and measurement. The disseminate stage is conducting a seminar on the implementation result. The content validity of the nine items test was declared valid with Aiken’s V coefficient ≥ 0.76. The test instrument has been validated and declared valid and reliable has seen from the entire INFIT MNSQ item in the range of 0.77 - 1.30. The data analysis technique using the PCM 1 PL model with Polytomous scoring. The test instrument developed and tested to 60 students of Class X MIPA was able to measure the error of students by 30.5% having misconceptions and by 27.6% not understanding the concept. Of the nine items given with different conception, the largest percentage of students’ misconceptions is in item number 4, which is 68.3% of students experiencing a misconception about the relationship of spring length to their frequency value.
