The sample class was given treatment through POE learning strategy. The instrument of data collection used was tested (pretest and post-test). The results showed that POE learning strategy was able to improve students' misconceptions seen from the reduction on the percentage of misconception in problem 2, number 4, and question number 19. It can be concluded that POE learning strategy is effective to remediate the eleventh-grade students' misconception of temperature and heat materials. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
