Misconception in Air Pressure and Use of Conceptual Change Model to Eliminate Misconception

Abstract

Determine the common misconceptions about air pressure's dependence on altitude and boiling point's dependence on air pressure and use the Conceptual Change Model to eliminate misconceptions. A quantitative case study was administered to gather information from 25 students of Tang Central School. The three-tier model was used to identify the misconceptions in participants. The conceptual Change model focused on four steps (awareness, exposure, confrontation, and resolving) were incorporated to address the misconception. In the process, YouTube tutorials were used as learning materials. Misconceptions are allayed using an effective teaching strategy (Conceptual Change Model) and outsourcing external resources such as tutorials.
