The formal test was conducted upon 96 second-year middle school students in the Kaohsiung area. Both two-tier test and interview techniques were used to diagnose the students’ misconceptions about pressure and buoyancy. The A-type and B-type situation questionnaires were the two tests used in this study. The test-retest reliabilities of these two tests are 0.84 and 0.82, respectively. Every student was required to complete the A-type questionnaire, and then take the B-type questionnaire a week later. After completing the tests, students were sample-selected as representatives for in-depth interviews. The interview for each student was based on his or her two-tier test. After dividing students into three levels within their own classes, two students were chosen from each level. The two tests’ data were then analyzed and compared using statistical frequency distribution, descriptive analyses, t-test, and phi and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. The data from interview was transcribed into Word documents from the recorded interview tapes. The major results of this study are the following: 1. There was a significant correlation(P<.01) between the two misconception tests. 2. There was a significant correlation(P<.05)between each misconception test and the students’ school achievement. 3. There exist statistical significant differences on both A and B test scores between students from rural school from suburban school(P<.01). This study also categorized the “pressure” and “buoyancy” misconceptions and unique misconceptions from different situations as tested by the A-type and B-type questionnaires.
