This study aims to identify the misconceptions related to the thermodynamics concepts among the students of the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, and to suggest a proposal to fix these misconceptions. The research problem aims at answering the following question: What are the misconceptions related to the thermodynamics concepts in the domain of Physical Chemistry among the students of the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, and what are the required measures to fix them? Based on this main question, several sub-questions emerged, which are: 1- What are the concepts of thermodynamics included in the module of Physical Chemistry offered to the female students of the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza? 2- What are the misconceptions in the concepts of thermodynamics among the female students at the Department of Chemistry, Al-Aqsa University from the viewpoint of faculty members? 3- What are the misconceptions in the concepts of thermodynamics among the female students at the Department of Chemistry, Al-Aqsa University as measured by the diagnostic test? 4- What is the suggested proposal for the treatment of these misconceptions in the thermodynamics concepts among the Chemistry students at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza? In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the study used the descriptive approach, where the number of sampling units was 82 female students from the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza. In addition, the study developed two tools to achieve the purpose of the study. The first tool was the content analysis tool, while the second one was the diagnostic test of the thermodynamics misconceptions. Application of these tools revealed that these misconceptions are common among the female students of the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University. In the light of the findings, the study recommends to implement the suggested educational proposal, and to update the educational strategies and means used by the faculty members at the Department of Chemistry at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza
