Abstract

For the purpose of identifying alternative conceptions in biology held by both elementary and secondary school students, an open-ended questionnaire in the six areas of biology was devised and administered to both 21 elementary school science teachers and 32 secondary biology teachers. Results have Shown that 65 and 183 items were introduced by elementary and secondary school teachers respectively Our findings will be useful to many researchers who have concerned about the issus of misconceptions in biology as well as many biology teachers who have had difficulties in biology teaching due to students' preconceptions.
