Abstract
This study aims to determine the level of students misconceptions on the topic of Newtonian mechanics and remediate misconceptions using a recitation program. This research is a qualitative research descriptive. The subjects of this study consisted of 25 students totaling 25 people. The data collection instrument used was in the form of choice 4 option questions using the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) criteria and respondents reasons. Meanwhile, to remediate misconceptions using a recitation program. The results showed that there were misconceptions that occurred in students with the average percentage of results obtained before remediation, namely, students who experienced Understand Concept (UC) as much as 15.4%, students who experienced Not Confident (NC) as many as 7%, students who experienced Not Understand Concept (NUC) as much as 30%, and students who experience misconceptions (M) as much as 44.8%. After remediation the average percentage of the results obtained, namely students who experience Understand Concept (UC) as much as 30%, students who experience Not Confident (NC) as much as 13.6%, students who experience Not Understand Concept (NUC) as much as 27%, and students who experience misconceptions (M) as much as 25.6%. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the use of the recitation program can reduce misconceptions that occur in students. The researcher suggests that the application of the recitation program in learning is quite effective in minimizing the occurrence of misconceptions in students. The teacher should strengthen the initial concept to students so that students do not experience prolonged misconceptions. For further researchers, it is recommended to further identify the misconceptions that occur in other physics topics, considering that there are so many physics topics that experience misconceptions such as the topic of dynamic electricity.
