Abstract

       The purpose of this article is representing the results of investigating idea about heat transfer of 25 grade 7 students, Navamindarajudis Phayap School, Chiang Mai province. Each student who study heat transfer concepts in science class were asked to answer 7 open-ended conceptual questions, only 2 questions concerned with heat induction, at the beginning of the class, second semester of 2016 academic year. This article presents only the results analysed from the 2 questions concerned with heat induction. Each student answer was classified ideas into group according to the key words they used to explain heat inductive phenomena of each question.


            From the results, most students use the idea “a metal is heat indictor and heat can be transferred from the area had higher temperature to lower temperature”. Besides, some students still have some confuses about heat induction and convection.
