IDENTIFICATION OF BIOLOGICAL EDUCATION STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS THROUGH STUDENT TEACHING VIDEO ANALYSIS

Abstract

Knowing the existence of misconceptions in students is important, especially for prospective teacher students. The Covid-19 pandemic has limited learning activities, so educators' creativity is needed. This study aims to identify the existence of student misconceptions through the analysis of student teaching videos. The research subjects were 14 students of Biology Education Study Program at Syiah Kuala University Gayo Lues who programmed microteaching courses for the 2020/2021 academic year. Each student was asked to record his teaching activity, duration 20-30 minutes. The video was analyzed to identify the existence of misconceptions. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that 36% of the total number of students experienced misconceptions, where cell material was the material with the highest number of misconceptions (60%). This study also shows that video recordings of teaching students can be used as an instrument to identify the existence of misconceptions in students.
