Abstract
Heat and heat transfer concepts are difficult concepts due to the abstract characteristics. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the students’ understanding of concepts and minimize misconceptions. Model Based Learning (MBL) is a learning model which presents a scientific model as an illustration of an abstract concepts and facilitates students to reconstruct their model. This study used Pre-Experimental method with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample in this study consisted of 34 class X students of one of public high schools in Bungo Regency, Jambi Province, taken by convenience sampling. The instruments used were heat concept inventory contains 18 multiple choices questions. The results showed that there was an increase in students' understanding concepts in heat and heat transfer which was included in the medium category after the implementation of MBL. We can conclude that MBL is an effective model to improve students’ understanding in heat and heat transfer concepts.
