1.2. Implications
The research implies that misconception is very important to be revealed on student teachers especially for the concepts on biology matters. By knowing
and analyzing the persistence of student teachers’ misconception would give the extent of students understanding of right scientific concepts on biology matters,
both in the concept of the circulatory and the respiratory system, since misconceptions is a concept that is incompatible with the scientific sense or
understanding accepted expert in a field of science. Therefore, the awareness of misconceptions that exist on the students’ knowledge neeSD to be improved on
the wrong concept of biology matters at this time. If misconceptions have entered into the cognitive structure of students,
then such misconceptions will continue untill it will affect the students in accepting a new concept. And most students will consistently develop wrong
concepts, and inadvertently constantly interrupt the lesson. Errors in understanding this concept will appear in everyday experience and very difficult
to be fixed. Misconceptions that found on students can hinder the process of acceptance and integration of new knowledge in accordance with the right
scientific concept in the way of students thinking. Therefore, we need a strong and fundamental conceptions of the students by connecting the old concept with a new
concept that led to the right concept to each sub-matter on the topic circulatory and the respiratory system in order to prevent the persistence misconceptions.
1.3. Suggestions
Based on the above conclusions, then as a form of follow-up in this study there are suggestions in an effort to obtain a student misconceptions, as follows:
1. The lecturers, especially biology lecturer before or begin the process of learning in the classroom, should first conduct an analysis test to
determine students misconceptions on biology matters, according to the ways of students answer the right concepts through the administered
questions. It aims to know whether the students knowledge contains misconceptions that are still carried over when time in school or training
period before the college students. 2. Suggest the next researcher to develop the results of this study in order to
the research contributions can be useful as a source of information on the use of good learning with knowledge of the misconceptions in order to
find on students misconception is crucial to know. Thus the sources of misconception are important to be acquired in following various aspects:
the source of teaching materials such as books, and educators teachers and lecturers.
3. Based on the results of this study, recommend to the next researcher to develop this research to overcome misconceptions in the level of
undergraduate level especially for student teachers .
