One of the problems that are often found in universities, especially in physics subjects, is the existence of misconceptions in students (learners). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the multiple-representation approach Based on E-Module in reducing the misconceptions of prospective physics teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used is quantitative research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 prospective physics teachers at one of the universities in the city of Mataram. The instrument used in this research is an open-ended three-tier test. A total of 10 test items with 30 questions were used in this study. The test was given twice, namely before and after treatment. The test results data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the decrease in the percentage of students who experienced misconceptions. Based on the results of data analysis shows that there is a decrease in the percentage of students who experience misconceptions by 31.89% from the initial number of 57.19 to 25.30%. This decrease in misconceptions was also followed by an increase in the percentage of students who understood the concept from 18.14 to 72.38%. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the multiple representation approach assisted by E-Modules can be used as an alternative to reduce misconceptions and improve understanding of the concept of prospective physics teachers in the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the homogeneity of the product or sample, it will affect whether it meets the scope of application and purpose. For example, the reference materials(RM) produced by the reference material producer(RMP), and the proficiency test items selected by the proficiency testing provider(PTP), in order to ensure the reference materials or proficiency test items have consistent characteristics or comparability, they should be proved to have certain homogeneity. However, before performing homogeneity assessment, it is necessary to measure the characteristic parameters of the reference materials or proficiency test items to obtain a sufficient number of measured values for data analysis, but there may be outliers in the measured values that may affect data analysis and interpretation of the results. Therefore, this article will refer to ASTM E178-16a:2016[1], ISO 5725-2:1994[2], ISO 13528:2015[3], etc., to introduce several outlier detection and homogeneity assessment methods, supplemented by case studies. Finally, this article will remind the precautions for the use of the method, so that readers can choose the appropriate method for use in the actual analysis.
