Students^ visual representation of lights and visions Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Abstract Abstract. Visual representations are used by scientists to communicate scientific conceptions and are used by teachers to teach science in the classroom. The 2013 Curriculum textbook reduces this visual representation. Meanwhile, visual representations will help students develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept. We used observations of fifty-nine fourth-grade elementary school students to find students with different cases of misconceptions. Eleven students were further identified using interviews and drawing tests. We found misconceptions in the representation of luminous objects and how students draw visions of luminous objects and non-luminous objects. Research results showed that we found cases of misconceptions similar to the findings from previous studies. While light and vision are prerequisite concepts, a student^s conception of vision is affected when he has a misconception about light. Content can be developed by paying attention to the various modes of representation, conceptual change, and learning progression in the future. The pattern of learning progression can be studied in more detail using the microgenetic method. Keywords: visual representation, learning progression, elementary school Topic: Physics Education |
