ABSTRACT

The potency of misconceptions has been investigated in the analytical chemistry subject, especially on titration concepts. A descriptive method was used in this study, involving 66 students who were taking the Analytical Chemistry course. The seven items of multiple-choice tests with reasons were used as an instrument and the results were then analyzed using a modified Certainty of Response Index technique. The results showed that misconceptions mainly occurred in macroscopic and symbolic level of representation on choosing measuring equipment for titration, using titration equipment, and calculating titration.
