Student Misconceptions in Heat and Temperature: Four-Tier Diagnostic Responses

165.5 KB of diagnostic test responses analyzed using Rasch measurement models. The dataset maps student misconceptions in heat and temperature concepts, created by Roziqin Roziqin and last updated on April 25, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the prevalence of specific misconceptions based on four-tier diagnostic test responses.
• Applying Rasch analysis to model student ability and item difficulty in physics education.
• Developing targeted instructional interventions based on identified misconception patterns.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse and redistribution.
• Data is structured in a tabular format (XLSX) for quantitative analysis.
• Focus on a specific educational assessment method (four-tier diagnostic test) for detailed misconception analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
