The preliminary study found that students of the Department of Geography, FMIPA, UNM experienced many misconceptions about material concept of geography. Therefore, a research was carried out that aims to describe the reduction of misconceptions in the material after the implementation of E-Learning model to integrated Virtual Reality. This type of research is a quantitative descriptive study with the design ‘One Group Pretest-Postest Design”. The research subject were students of the Geography education ICP (International Class Program) in even Semester of the 2019/2020 academic year, each class totaling 32 students. Data were collected through observation, giving pretest questions before treatment and giving postest questions after treatment. From the data that has been obtained then analyzed using tabulation CRI values to describe the profile of misconceptions that occur in students and analyze the n-gain value to determine the decrease in student misconceptions on the material. From the research results, it can be concluded that the reduction of misconceptions in the material after the implementation of the E-Learning model to integrated Virtual Reality can consistently: reduce student misconceptions.
