Misconceptions of prospective Mathematics teacher on graphing function

Abstract

Good learning outcomes supported by a good understanding of concepts. A good understanding of the concept is an understanding that do not contain misconceptions. This study aims to identify the misconceptions of prospective mathematics teacher on graphing function. This research was conducted on 8 undergraduate students. This study used a descriptive research design. Descriptive research is used to analyse conceptual understanding and student misconceptions based on test results using diagnostic test instruments and interview results. The questions used were 5 questions that had been validated by 2 mathematics lecturers with valid results. The results showed that most of the students were still doing plotting without identify of the domain dan characteristics of the function. Some of them were also still stuck with using integers as the reference.
