Learning physics in high school has a goal students can master physics concepts and have a confident attitude. Currently, students' comprehension of concepts is still lacking, considering the mindsets and attitudes of students who have not demonstrated a positive approach toward learning physics. It is necessary to analyze the students' conceptual comprehension, attitudes toward studying physics, and the link between conceptual understanding and student attitudes. This research includes descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The population of this study is all students of class XII MIPA SMAN Batusangkar and a sample of 172 students. This study used a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used are four tier multiplechoice diagnostic tests and attitude questionnaires. Overall, the research result at SMAN Batusangkar discovered that pupils' conceptual grasp was still lacking, so there is a misconception of 41.28% on the material of temperature and heat. Students' attitudes towards learning physics as a whole, they have shown a good attitude towards learning physics, which is in the good category of 68.92%. Concept understanding and students' attitudes towards learning physics have a moderate relationship. Correlation concepts understanding with student attitudes shows that student attitudes can influence concepts understanding, causing unsatisfactory physics learning outcomes.
