- Abstract
This study aims at determining students’ misconceptions in the microbiology subject. The object of this study was the biology students at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas negeri Padang (UNP) who took the microbiology subject in 2018/2019 school year. The number of students was 142 students. This study was a descriptive research. This study used diagnostic tests in the form of multiple choice questions and the Certainly of Response Index (CRI) technique. The CRI technique was an index of student confidence in answers that are considered correct. CRI diagnostic data analysis results showed that as many as 36.75% of students understood the concept, 35.43% did not understand the concept, and 27.82% experienced misconceptions. Student misconceptions were influenced by the understanding that was influenced by the experiences of the students that they have in their daily lives and the textbooks they use. Textbooks used in learning have not linked problems in daily life that support understanding of student concepts. The textbook used was an old book, so there was no novelty of knowledge.
