Abstract
Self learning materials in the form of texts have now been widely used in the process of changing students^ conceptions. One type of text that has been used to remediate students^ misconceptions is refutation text. This research was conducted to test the use of self learning activity using electronic-Computer Based Refutation Text (e-CBRTExt) in physics remedial teaching to obtain depiction about its effectiveness in restructuring high school students^ misconceptions regarding the voltage of parallel installed battery concepts. e-CBRText is written in computer format so that various visual media features can be inserted. This study used a pre-experiment method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 96 high school students in West Java. The data collection instrument used in this research was the conception diagnostic test in a four tier test format related to the voltage of parallel istalled battery concept. The results revealed that the use of e-CBRText could be restructuring misconceptions of more than 87% of high school students related to the voltage of parallel installed battery concept. These results indicate that the use of e-CBRText has a high effectiveness in restructuring high school students^ misconceptions regarding the voltage of parallel installed battery concept.
