misunderstandings in learning and understanding concepts
Eureka Education . Wartono, et al (04: 10) suggests the concept is an idea or ABSTRACT designed to simplify the environment. While Euwe van den Berg (1991: 8), the concept proposes is an abstraction of the characteristics of something that facilitate between people and communication that allows people to think. The concept is formed by the characterization of the results observed in a particular category. The concept abstraction called for the concept in the imaging process brought different actual experience expressed. The concept is patterned observed as mental representations on the experience.
concept would not only get with only one observation to see, hear or feel in order. Several observations, the categories and category based on this concept to obtain, can be produced, are formed. Making the ability inferences, categories and patterns in the form of concepts, is very important to store a variety of information received. If people are a concept not in a position to form, there will be a lot of things that people need to remember.

Each concept is not alone, but each term relating to the concepts of others. All concepts together form a network of knowledge in the human head. In addition, the integrated, precise and close relations between concepts a person's head, the more clever people. An expertise of the individual into a particular field of study over the full network of concepts in the head.
on this basis is the concept of man is formed when people began be able to make environmental observations to provide an answer then stored in the form of psychic information in his thinking. To a child, before going ahead with the basic education then existing concepts for the environment. First concepts, called by the students before learning owned prejudice.
prejudice influenced by direct experience, the experience of thinking, physical and emotional experience through social processes. Prejudice by children is brought into the classroom is not the same. It is a prejudice of children who are already familiar with the truth of science in line, but some are not in accordance with the truth of science is taught in schools. For children who have preconceived ideas already, which is taught in the classroom in accordance with the truth of science is, then he will find it easy to accept the lesson, but if otherwise he would have difficulty learn . In this case, the teacher will support needed to guide the student prejudices.
first concepts that will not correspond to the truth of science called misunderstandings. The original concept was obtained by the learner while in elementary school, middle school, their experiences and observations in the community or in everyday life. It is not uncommon that the concept of the students, even if it is not compatible with scientific concepts, a long time may take and is difficult during the formal education to be repaired or changed. After Suparno (05: 3), it is caused by the concept that students have, although wrong, but it may explain some of the problems they face in their lives. Some children use the dual concept in this case, namely, the scientific concept used concepts in school and everyday life, to be used in the Community. This makes both expert educators and researchers involved in the discussion of how the misunderstanding how misunderstandings can be addressed and overcome the difficulties
misunderstandings or incorrect concepts. (Suparno, 05: 4) refers to a concept which is not in accordance with the scientific sense and reason that get the experts in this field. Also with Wartono, et al (04: 25) defines an alternative understanding error is not scientifically correct. The misconception believed by students and make react based on problems that arise. Thus the mismatch concept misunderstanding is part of the students to the concept of experts. Based on these false ideas of physics the lack of a concept of physics by students was heard with physicists.
Broadly speaking, the cause of misunderstandings in five groups are divided, namely students, teachers, textbooks, and context teaching method . The cause of that comes from students from a variety of things like initial prejudices that ability development stage interests, ways of thinking and other friends can be made. may be the cause of the fault of the teacher the inability of teachers, lack of knowledge of the material, the teaching of which is not appropriate or teacher attitudes in relations with students who are not good. Misunderstandings by false doctrine caused quite difficult to judge, because the students have confidence that the teachers have learned is true. The cause of the misconception of the books contained in a false declaration or a description in the book. Context, such as culture, religion and language daily also affect students misunderstandings. While this method of teaching the truth of the words emphasized often led to misunderstandings students (Suparno, 05: 29).
error is understandable, especially when we checked from the point view of constructivism , where it is the construction of knowledge of students. Because freedom of design and the design constraints that students had misconceptions, although taught appropriate and also with a good book by the teachers.
There are many ways to help students overcome misconceptions in physics. to help overcome the steps Broadly misconceptions are:
a Search or show misconceptions do students
Paul Suparno. (05: 56). Declares that in order to understand the idea of students some of the things to include:
- The students were released revealing ideas and thoughts on the material discussed. This can be done orally or in writing
- The teacher gave questions to the students about the concepts, which generally makes students confused and students were asked to answer historians honest.
- The teacher invites students to discuss certain materials that usually contain misunderstandings and the teacher let freely discuss the students.
b. Trying to find the cause of the misunderstanding that
activity can be carried out, the cause of misunderstandings, to determine, among other things:
- Teachers Private interviews and public before class lead provided
- Provides a written request for students. Very good with students misunderstandings
c. in accordance with the needs of the student must be, the effectiveness of such methods of finding the appropriate treatment to address.
done The method of teaching to minimize misunderstandings. This is certainly necessary precautionary select educators methods that are suitable for a specific material.
