Ten students were selected through purposive sampling. Data of this study consisted of verbal information and non-verbal information which was collected through interviews and test-questions. The data was analyzed through transcription. The findings of the study showed that students have their own understanding about the concept of quadratic equations. The findings also suggested that students committed seven types or errors when they were solving quadratic equations, i.e. assuming there is only one answer, creating own rules, factorization, invalid cancellation, not writing the equation in the standard form, not putting factorization equals to 0 and basic algebraic operation. The study also suggests that the misconceptions in quadratic equations occur because of a few reasons, i.e. do not fully understand the concept of quadratic equations, do not understand the lesson taught in the classroom, create their own rules and poor understanding of basic algebraic concepts. 2007 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=408 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=408 text zsm closedAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Sains dan Matematik N/A
