<![CDATA[Abstract While some misconceptions already believed by students, it will resist changing. Therefore,the earlier diagnosis of students’ misconceptions becomes crucial. This study determinedthe misconceptions experienced by students in energy and evaluated the use of OrderedMultiple Choice (OMC) and Reasoning Multiple Choice (RMC) test to measure it. Thesample in this study was two classes at SMA N 1 Samarinda that was taken by purposivesampling technique. The samples were had relatively similar capability in physics, taughtby the same teacher with same teaching method. From the result, it is found that there aresome misconceptions experienced by the students. In the first class, percentagemisconception measured by OMC are level 1 "Naive concept" of 10%, level 2 "Hybridconcept" as much as 36%. In the second class, percentage of misconception measured byRMC is 22%. The OMC test was able to detect misconceptions on students generally andclassified two common types of misconceptions: naive and hybrid. While the RMC testwas able to show the misconception that occurred in each student in-depth because studentswrote their reasons independently.Keywords: ordered multiple choice, reasoninng multiple choice, misconception, energy]]>
