Abstract


Multirepresentation is a configuration of forms that use various formats or ways to describe the same thing. This article describes the relationship of multirepresentation skills with higher-order thinking skills (HoTs) and misconceptions. Higher order thinking skills are the dimensions of the thinking process of analyzing, evaluating, and creating. A misconception is a person's conception that contradicts or differs from a universally recognized concept. This article was written based on the results of the author's research on secondary education and higher education in the field of Physics. The results of the study show that: a) the lowest representation format mastered by the respondents is mathematical representation; b) found a tendency that the lower the multirepresentation skill, the lower higher-order thinking skills; and c) the higher the multirepresentation skills, the lower the misconceptions experienced.
