Abstract


Student textbooks are one of the most fundamental components of learning in elementary schools. This study aims to identify and classify potential misconceptions in the 2025 revised edition of the Grade VI IPAS (Science and Social Studies) student textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. A qualitative content analysis design was employed, systematically reviewing all six chapters of the textbook against current scientific references. A total of 13 misconceptions were identified and classified into five categories: misidentification (5 cases), overgeneralization (2 cases), oversimplification (3 cases), obsolete concepts and terms (2 cases), and undergeneralization (1 case). Critical findings include the misclassification of diabetes mellitus as a digestive disease, the omission of the pharynx from the respiratory anatomy diagram, and factually erroneous data on Earth's radius. These findings underscore the urgent need for systematic, discipline-specific scientific review of textbooks prior to nationwide distribution.
