Seker, Burcu Sezginsoy; Erdem, Aliye – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
Students learning a defined subject only perform by learning of thinking based on the concepts forming that subjects. Otherwise, students may move away from the scientific meaning of concepts and may fall into conceptual errors. Students' conceptual errors affect their following learning and cause them resist change. It is possible to prevent this…
