Miskonsepsi siswa merupakan salah satu perhatian penting dalam penelitian pendidikan karena bersifat mengganggu siswa untuk memahami konsep ilmiah dalam pembelajaran. Miskonsepsi sering terjadi pada pembelajaran Kimia, salah satunya pada konsep Larutan Penyangga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi miskonsepsi siswa pada konsep Larutan Penyangga menggunakan instrumen tes four-tier multiple-choice (4TMC) di SMA Negeri Se-Tangerang Selatan. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Waktu penelitian dilaksanakan pada 07 Agustus sampai dengan 05 September 2019. Subjek penelitian ini adalah kelas XII MIPA SMA Negeri Se-Tangerang Selatan tahun ajaran 2019/2020 dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 134 siswa yang diambil dari empat kelas menggunakan teknik Cluster Random Sampling. Data penelitian diperoleh dari jawaban siswa pada soal tes 4TMC. Data tersebut diolah berdasarkan pola jawaban siswa yang kemudian dikelompokkan ke dalam kategori pemahaman siswa yaitu miskonsepsi, kurang paham konsep, kesalahan, dan paham konsep. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi miskonsepsi sebesar (48,51%), dan miskonsepsi signifikan yang teridentifikasi pada 2 dari 5 subkonsep Larutan Penyangga yang diteliti yaitu subkonsep Perhitungan Larutan Penyangga (14,92%) dan Peran Larutan Penyangga dalam Tubuh Makhluk Hidup (15,67%).

The students who have enough vocabulary could be easier in learning English. From this reason, the teacher should give a good technique to teach vocabulary. Crossword technique is one of an interesting, enjoyable, and fun that should be used by the teacher. Crossword technique is also effective in enrich students’ vocabulary. By implementing the crossword technique the students don’t feel memorizing the vocabularies, they could add their vocabulary unconsciously. This study is aimed to find the effect of crossword technique on students’ vocabulary mastery. It was done at MTs Miftahul Ulum Palengaan Pamekasan. The participant  is the seventh grade students. The total number of the participant is 20 students. This study was quantitative research and quasi experimental as the design. Vocabulary test was used to collect the data which consist of 50 questions. The form of test was multiple choice test. There were two tests, namely pretest and posttest. Pretest was done before giving treatment and posttest was done after giving treatment. To achieve the objective of this study the data were analyzed by using dependent t test with the help of SPSS 20. The result turned out to test the hypothesis which states students score in the posttest are different from their score in the pretest. The finding showed that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. It was proven by the result of computation of t-value is higher than critical 0.05 with df 19.It means that the alternative hypothesis (Hi) was accepted.  From those explanations above, it could be concluded that there is significant effect of crossword technique on the first grade students’ vocabulary mastery at MTs Miftahul Ulum Gunung Tangis Palengaan Pamekasan. Therefore, teaching vocabulary by using crossword technique was more effective than teaching vocabulary conventionally.From this finding, the researcher suggests for the English teacher to use crossword technique in teaching vocabulary because this technique is very enjoyable and interesting for the students.

Abstrak: Model discovery learning merupakan model yang disarankan pada implementasi Kurikulum 2013, namun masih banyak guru yang belum memiliki gambaran yang jelas dalam penggunaan model discovery learning. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model discovery learning terhadap penguasaan konsep fisika peserta didik kelas XI MAN 1 Lombok Barat. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yaitu penelitan quasi eksperimen dengan desain penelitian yaitu post-test only control grup design. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah seluruh peserta didik XI MIA MAN 1 Lombok Barat tahun pelajaran 2019/2020. Pengambilan sampel digunakan teknik cluster random sampling sehingga terpilih kelas XI MIA 1 berjumlah 29 orang sebagai kelas kontrol dan kelas XI MIA 2 berjumlah 30 orang sebagai kelas kontrol. Kelas kontrol diajarkan dengan pembelajaran konvesional sedangkan kelas eksperimen diajarkan dengan model discovery learning. Penguasaan konsep fisika peserta didik diukur menggunakan skor hasil belajar kognitif (C1 sampai C6). Instrumen yang digunakan berupa tes pilihan ganda sebanyak 25 butir soal. Data hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa penguasaan konsep fisika peserta didik kelas kontrol dalam kategori cukup dengan nilai rerata 62.6 dan kelas eksperimen dalam kategori baik dengan nilai rerata 77.7. Hipotesis penelitian diuji menggunakan uji-t separated varians dengan taraf signifikan 5%. Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa nilai t_hitung yaitu 4.955 lebih besar dari t_tabel yaitu 1.700 yang artinya H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh model discovery learning terhadap penguasaan konsep fisika peserta didik kelas XI MAN 1 Lombok Barat.Kata kunci: discovery learning, penguasaan konsep fisikaAbstract: Discovery learning model is a recommended model for the implementation of 2013 Curriculum, but there are still many teachers who do not have a clear picture in using the discovery learning model. This study aims to determine the effect of discovery learning models on the mastery of physics concepts in class XI MAN 1 West Lombok students. The type of research used is quasi-experimental research with research design that is post-test only control group design. The population of this study were all XI MIA MAN 1 West Lombok students in the 2019/2020 school year. Sampling was used cluster random sampling technique so that selected class XI MIA 1 amounted to 29 people as the control class and class XI MIA 2 totaled 30 people as the control class. The control class was taught using the conventional learning model while the experimental class was taught using the discovery learning model. Mastery of students' physics concepts is measured using scores of cognitive learning outcomes (C1 to C6). The instrument used was a multiple choice test of 25 items. The result data obtained showed that the mastery of the physics concepts of the control class students was in the sufficient category with an average value of 62.6 and the experimental class in the good category with a mean value of 77.7. The research hypothesis was tested using a t-test separated variance with a significance level of 5%. Data analysis shows that the value of tcount is 4.955 which is greater than ttable which is 1.700 which means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of discovery learning model on the mastery of physics concepts in class XI MAN 1 Lombok Barat in 2019/2020.Keywords: discovery learning, mastery of physics concepts
