We have precisely conducted research to identify students’ conceptions on heat transfer. A case study has been implemented by using purposive sampling technique. The research participants are 11 males and 24 females of eleventh grade students. The largest percentage of students’ conception is in the category of misconception, such as: (1) heat transfer is taking place while system has reached thermal equilibrium, so temperature difference still exists; (2) Objects that absorb heat more quickly, will emit heat radiation more slowly; (3) In conduction, heat flows because it is carried by moving electron of a medium; (4) In convection, the rate of convection goes faster as the water boils.
