Abstract

The conceptual change model by Posner et al. states that students must be dissatisfied with the old conceptions, and the substitute conceptions must be intelligent, plausible, and fruitful to ensure the conceptual change. The previous study has obtained students’ misconceptions about the Lunar Phase materials. These data are the basis for developing Refutation Texts (RT). This study aims to develop a set of valid and practical electronic modules equipped with RT as teaching material to overcome misconceptions. The method used was educational research and development, which consisted of three steps. This article reports the preliminary development step. As a result, there are fourteen forms of misconceptions about the lunar phases related to six essential materials, namely the Moon as an Earth’s Satellite, the Rotation and Revolution of the Earth and Moon, the Moon’s Movement, Lunar Phases, Lunar Eclipse, and Causes of Tides. It developed as many as fifteen units of RT for all the essential materials. These fifteen units of RT were embedded in a set of the Lunar Phase materials electronic module. Further research is recommended to test the RT-equipped electronic module’s validity, practicality, and potential effect in overcoming misconceptions about the Lunar Phases.
