This research used the quantitative approach and quasi-experimental research design involving six research questions and two hypotheses. The research sample consists of 73 Basic Physics 1 students enrolled in two different campuses of Sriwijaya University, Indonesia. The respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Two research instruments namely:the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) (Indonesian version) and the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) were used in the research. Meanwhile, the three conceptual change strategies used were the Predict-Observe-Explain-Apply (POEA), Conceptual Change Texts (CCT), and the analogy technique. The pre-test and post-test which used data from the FCI were analyzed to determine the mean N-gain while the t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that mean scores of students? conceptual understanding for both campuses was 18.08%. Based on the CRI analysis, students? conceptions can be categorized into three types: correct concepts (13.24%), misconceptions (61.51%), and lack of knowledge (25.25%). The mean N-gain of the experimental and control groups were 58% and - 1.28%, respectively. There was a significant increase in students? conceptual understanding between the experimental and control groups for all the mechanics concepts and the six conceptual dimensions in mechanics being studied. In conclusion, all the chosen strategies had effectively improved the students? conceptual understanding and changed their misconceptions towards the correct one. The implication of this study is the conceptual change strategies can be used in the training of physics teachers. 2015 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1254 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1254 text eng closedAccess Doctoral Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Sains dan Matematik N/A
