Biochemistry studies biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels (Mohammad, 2017). As a basic science, biochemistry has many sub-branches such as bioorganic chemistry, clinical biochemistry, and immunochemistry. So, biochemistry has become the basis for understanding all disciplines related to biology, such as biotechnology, environmental engineering, pharmacy, to medicine (Usman, 2018). Therefore, biochemical literacy is important for students in the fields of science, including biology. As the breadth and depth of biochemistry increases, a lot of new information is learned in biochemistry. Biochemistry textbooks are becoming thicker and more biochemical concepts and practices have to be learned. Students also often have to memorize facts and figures when studying biochemistry. Therefore, the issue of how to make biochemical knowledge and principles more interesting to study, easier to understand, and more useful has become a major concern for teachers. The reason is, this condition causes the A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history Received: 27 June 2021 Revised: 20 July 2021 Accepted: 21 July 2021 Published: 27 July 2021 Misconceptions are a major problem in learning biology and their emergence may potentially increase during online lectures. The purpose of this study was to identify student misconceptions in Department of Biology Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang during online biochemistry lectures. This quantitative study involved 39 respondents. Two-tier questions were used as data collection instruments and descriptive statistics were chosen as data analysis techniques. As a result, the average percentage of students who mastered the concepts delivered correctly was 40.4%. Meanwhile, the average percentage of students who experienced misconceptions was 53.0%. The high level of misconceptions found in this study needs to be followed up by improving the quality of online lectures during the pandemic.

Due to the breadth and amount of information that must be learned in biochemistry, the increase of misconceptions among students is inevitable. Misconceptions often go undetected and persist during learning (Queloz et al., 2017). Misconceptions can be caused by learning errors at previous academic levels. Misconceptions may also be generated through the use of analogies that oversimplify the scientific concept being studied. In addition, misconceptions can also be caused by misinformation that has been read by students from several sources that are less credible (Duda et al., 2020). Apart from the importance of biochemical literacy as well as low attitudes and high misconceptions about biochemistry, the education field faces other problems that cannot be underestimated. The problem is a drastic change in learning conditions, from face-to-face learning to online learning (Rajhans et al., 2020). This condition is caused by the COVID-19 outbreak that has attacked the world since the end of 2019 (Singhal, 2020). Various studies examining biology learning during the COVID-19 pandemic were carried out. There is research trying to identify teacher readiness to implement online learning (Barbour et al., 2013; Yusuf, 2020). Several other studies have attempted to examine the impact of online learning on the level of student satisfaction (Mok et al., 2021) or competence (Martha et al., 2021). Research in biochemistry lectures has also been carried out, but the research problem is more focused on student learning difficulties in online biochemistry practicum (Qonita et al., 2021). On the other hand, several studies have also examined misconceptions in Biology learning. The research not only focuses on mapping and diagnosing misconceptions in students (Dikmenli, 2010; Raharjo et al., 2019; Susanti, 2018), but there are also studies that develop and evaluate diagnostic instruments that can accurately identify misconceptions in students (Queloz et al., 2017; Suwono et al., 2021). However, there is no research that specifically wants to analyze the existence of misconceptions in biochemistry lectures in Indonesia, especially during pandemic era. Based on the background that has been described, it is necessary to explore students' misconceptions in biochemistry lectures during the pandemic. This kind of research will be an important evaluation and policy basis for optimizing the lecture process during the pandemic. Therefore, in this study, the accuracy of student concepts during online learning of Biochemistry lectures at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) was carried out. METHOD This research was a quantitative study that carried out at UMM, Indonesia. The study was conducted from August to December 2020. This study involved 39 students from the Department of Biology Education who were taking Biochemistry lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Biochemistry course utilizes the learning management system (LMS) provided by UMM. The LMS used uses the Canvas platform. The platform is packaged into a special address, namely https://elmu.umm.ac.id/. The data collected in this study was quantitative data obtained from the test instrument. The test instrument was in the form of a two-tier instrument which initially consisted of 20 question items. After being tested for validity using Pearson Correlation, item numbers 1, 4, 15, and 20 were eliminated because they were invalid. The remaining sixteen items were then analyzed to determine the reliability of the instrument used. The results of the reliability test using Cronbach alpha inform that the instrument is reliable. Data collection was carried out after the Biochemistry lecture was carried out for ten meetings. The ten meetings were started by unit 1, namely the unit “Preliminary Understanding of Biochemistry and Macromolecules” and ended by unit 4, namely the unit “Metabolism”. One unit consists of several learning activities. In each learning activity, students are directed to have a discussion after they have listened to the video that has been embedded into the science page. After data collection was carried out, students' answers were grouped into four categories, namely 1) correct and sure; 2) correct and not sure; 3) not precise and sure; and 4) imprecise and unsure. Students are said to have the right understanding if their responses fall into the first category, while they are said to have misconceptions if their responses fall into the third category. If the responses belong to the second category, then the accuracy of their answers is considered to come from luck or other factors. If the response fall into fourth category, the students do not have a conceptual understanding of the concept being asked. The data obtained were analyzed by calculating the percentage to see the distribution of the responses to each item asked. https://elmu.umm.ac.id/ JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) Vol. 7, No. 2, July 2021, pp. 104-110 106 Wahyono and Susetyarini (Misconceptions of biology education students …) RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Misconceptions have become a serious problem and challenge in learning biology. The misconception data in this study is based on student responses when answering questions from a two-tier instrument. The percentage of student answers is presented in Figure 1. Based on Figure 1, the average percentage of students who have a proper understanding of the concept of biochemistry was 40.4%. This response category indicates that respondents have a conceptual understanding of the concept being asked and they believe that the concept they have is correct. The average percentage that does not reach 50% of all students indicates that the mastery of biochemistry concepts of students who take biochemistry courses online is still not optimal. On the other hand, the average percentage of students who are unsure of the answer even though the answer choice is correct was only 2.4%. This answer category indicates that the accuracy of the answer could be due to luck when choosing the answer. In addition, their disbelief indicates their doubts about the concepts they have learned. Figure 1. Percentage of students' answers on the misconception diagnostic test Table 1. Distribution of student answers in each item Items Correct and sure Correct and not sure Not correct and sure Not correct and not sure 1 51.3 7.7 38.5 2.6 2 10.3 0.0 89.7 0.0 3 17.9 0.0 76.9 5.1 4 30.8 7.7 59.0 2.6 5 71.8 5.1 23.1 0.0 6 12.8 0.0 82.1 5.1 7 71.8 5.1 23.1 0.0 8 17.9 0.0 76.9 5.1 9 59.0 0.0 35.9 5.1 10 51.3 5.1 33.3 10.3 11 64.1 2.6 33.3 0.0 12 74.4 2.6 23.1 0.0 13 20.5 0.0 76.9 2.6 14 28.2 2.6 61.5 7.7 15 59.0 0.0 33.3 7.7 16 5.1 0.0 82.1 12.8 JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) Vol. 7, No. 2, July 2021, pp. 104-110 107 Wahyono and Susetyarini (Misconceptions of biology education students …) The average percentage of students who are sure of their answers even though their answers are wrong was 53.0% (Figure 1). The response category of this answer represents the level of students' misconceptions. In these conditions, they feel confident that their understanding of the concept is correct. In fact, the understanding they have is not the right understanding. The average percentage indicates a very high level of misconception because the average percentage has exceeded 50%. On the other hand, the average percentage of students whose answers were incorrect and unsure of the answers they chose was only 4.2%. These answers represent a condition where students feel they do not have a conceptual understanding of the concept being asked. Furthermore, the distribution of student answers in each item is presented in Table 1. Based on Table 1, almost all items have a high percentage of not correct and sure answers. The percentages ranged from 23.1% (item number 5, 7, and 12) to 89.7% (item number 2). Items number 5, 7, and 12 respectively ask about protein structure, protein denaturation, and the role of lipids in life. On the other hand, item number 2 asks about the role of water as an important component in life. The high category of "not correct and sure" answers in almost all items shows that almost all the biochemical concepts have a high level of misconception. The level of accuracy and concept error is related to the level of difficulty of a concept being studied and understood (Erman, 2017). This condition may increase when the interaction between students and lecturers becomes less than optimal. There are some concepts, especially abstract concepts that must be conveyed with care because they are often a source of misconceptions (Üce & Ceyhan, 2019). Abstract concepts will be difficult to learn by students whose cognitive level is still less developed (Halim et al., 2014). In addition, when interaction cannot occur directly, there are often several environmental and learning distractions that can increase the frequency of misconceptions. Incomplete information is also the cause of the emergence of misconceptions.(Erman, 2017). Incomplete information also has the potential to increase when students cannot attend directly in class. In the pandemic era, face-to-face learning opportunities are very limited. In the pandemic era, face-to-face learning opportunities are very limited. The reason is that the presence of COVID-19, which is highly contagious (Wu et al., 2020) has caused policy makers to implement physical distancing in almost all sectors of life (Chu et al., 2020), including the education sector (Azhari & Fajri, 2021; Gunawan et al., 2020). This policy led to the transformation of face-to-face learning into online learning (Al-Kumaim et al., 2021; Atmojo & Nugroho, 2020). Through this kind of learning, the potential for decreasing the quality of learning and the emergence of misconceptions during lectures is increasing. Misconception is a major problem in the biology education field. The difficulty of students mastering the biology concept is rooted in at least 3 things. First, misunderstandings and barriers to the acquisition of scientific concepts during instruction and persist even after instruction (Dikmenli, 2010; Elisa et al., 2007). Second, the scope and complexity of biology and the nature of microscopic structures that are invisible to the human eye often result in students having difficulty conceptualizing concepts (Sesli & Kara, 2012). Third, the complex and growing area of biological science becomes a challenge for teachers in teaching (Mermelstein & Costa, 2017) so that teachers can become propagator of misconceptions in students (Yates & Marek, 2014). Regarding the findings, the online lecture design needs to be optimized so that misconceptions can be minimized. Lecture design needs to adopt several learning models that have previously been reported to be able to reduce the level of misconceptions, such as dual situated learning (Kurniawan et al., 2020) and discovery-inquiry learning (Tompo et al., 2016). However, because some of these learnings are still based on face-to-face meetings, the development of innovative online-based learning designs needs to be formulated in further studies. On the other hand, related to practical activities, case-based learning is recommended to be implemented in the current pandemic era (Thibaut & Schroeder, 2020). Apart from the findings that have been obtained, this study also has limitations. The first limitation is related to the number of samples that are still not too large. This study only involved 39 students. When referring to the population defined in this study, the number of samples is already representative. However, further research involving a larger population scale and sample size also needs to be done. This kind of research will provide a broader picture of the phenomenon of misconceptions in biology learning, especially on biochemical concepts. In addition, the limitations of this study also come from the diagnostic instruments used. Although two-tier instruments are commonly used in diagnosing students' misconceptions, the use of other instruments such as tree-tier or four-tier is also recommended to be applied in further research. In addition, the JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) Vol. 7, No. 2, July 2021, pp. 104-110 108 Wahyono and Susetyarini (Misconceptions of biology education students …) development and validation of instruments also need to be refined in further research. With a better development and validation process, the research findings will also be more accurate. CONCLUSION After attending online Biochemistry lectures, the average student who experienced misconceptions was 53.0%, while students who mastered the right concept were only 40.4%. A quasi-experimental research to examine the effect of applying some innovative online-based learning needs to be carried out in further research. The focus of research in future research can also touch other aspects of thinking skills and 21st Century competencies. The habit of online lectures and optimizing the use of LMS needs to be continued because it is in line with the form of 21st Century-based lectures in the current digital era.
