Abstract

This article discusses about the dynamic of Junior High School students? conceptual understanding on energy due to an intervention. The key indicators to see these dynamic of conceptual understanding, i.e. by comparing the normalized gain (N-gain) score with the normalized loss (L) score. This study employed a design experiment and conducted at SMPN 1 Tanah Grogot, Paser Regency, East Kalimantan in the First Semester Academic Year 2015/2016. Subject research were 30 students from the 7th grade. The data were obtained from results of students? conceptual understanding tests about energy (pretest and posttest). The results of this study showed that: (1) students who got low N-gain score tend to have a loss; and generally N-gain > L, that mean the intervention could promote students to understand substantive concepts on energy topics. Based on these results despite some limitation, could be concluded that students? conceptual understanding and students? conception change influenced by the intervention and reinforced the conceptual change theory especially on the knowledge-as-elements perspectives. Artikel ini membahas mengenai dinamika pemahaman konsep siswa SMP pada materi energi akibat adanya intervensi. Indikator kunci untuk melihat dinamika pemahaman konsep tersebut, yaitu dengan membandingkan score normalized gain (N-gain) dengan score normalized loss (L). Studi ini menggunakan design experiment dan dilakukan di SMPN 1 Tanah Grogot, Kab. Paser, Kalimantan Timur pada Semester Ganjil Tahun Pembelajaran 2015/2016. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 30 orang siswa kelas VII. Data diperoleh dari hasil tes pemahaman konsep siswa tentang energi (pretest dan posttest). Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa: (1) siswa yang memperoleh skor N-gain rendah akan cenderung mengalami loss; dan (2) secara umum N-gain > L, yang berarti intervensi dapat mengenalkan siswa untuk memahami konsep-konsep substantif pada topik energi. Berdasarkan hasil-hasil tersebut meskipun terdapat beberapa limitasi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemahaman konsep dan perubahan konsepsi siswa dipengaruhi oleh intervensi serta menguatkan teori perubahan konsep khususnya pada perspektif pengetahuan seperti elemen.
