Corruption remains a significant concern in Indonesia, exemplified by the case of former Supreme Court Judge Zarof Ricar, suspected of acting as a case broker. This case began with the arrest of three Surabaya district court judges on October 20, 2024, for allegedly accepting bribes to free Ronald Tannur.

This research aims to determine student’s conceptual understanding of salt hydrolysis in 11th grade at SMA Negeri 3 Gorontalo using a three-tier multiple-choice diagnostic test. This research employs qualitative descriptive research, with the subjects being 156 students from the 11th grade chemistry class at SMA Negeri 3 Gorontalo. Data was collected using a three-tier multiple-choice diagnostic test consisting of 20 question. The results indicate that, on average, students only understand 18,12% of the salt hydrolysis concept, 43,54%  of students experience misconceptions and 38,34% do not understanding the concept. From the identifikation results, the highest level of conceptual understanding was found in indicator 1, which determines the acidic and basic properties of salt-forming compounds, with a percentage 21,66%. The highest level of miskonceptions was found in indicator 2, which analyzes the properties of hydrolyzed salts, with an average of 54,03% and the highest level of lack of understanding was found in indicator 4, which calculates the pH of a hydrolyzed salt solutions, with an average of 47,4%. Overall, it can be stated that 81,88% of students do not correcly understand the material on salt hydrolysis. The indicates that students’ conceptual understanding of salt hydrolysis is very low.

Misconceptions are concepts that are not relevant to scientific understanding accepted by experts in the field concerned and can cause difficulties in understanding material. The aim of this research is to examine the results of misconception analysis in working on arithmetic series operations at PGMI 3 UIN North Sumatra. This research uses survey and test methods to identify misconceptions that generally arise when PGMI-3 students work on arithmetic series operations. The research results show that there are several misconceptions involving understanding the general formula for arithmetic series, calculating the nth term, and adding terms in a series. Most of these misconceptions are related to inaccurate understanding and lack of focus on the basic concepts of arithmetic series. The type of error that many students make is an error in determining a formula with an error percentage of 20.49% and the error being made is an error in the final result determined, with an error percentage of 17.93%. Of the 39 students, there were 24 students who answered the questions correctly and well and there were 15 students who made different mistakes.
