Özet
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of computer-aided education for elimination of misconceptions about photosynthesis. This study was implemented with 71 students (37 as control and 34 as experimental groups). A multiple choice test including 18 questions was applied as pre- and post-test as well as 4 classic questions were asked on the subject. Photosynthesis was explained to control group with traditional lecture method and to experimental group students with computer-based method. The students exhibited their misconceptions especially about light, chlorophyll, energy, structure of chloroplast, ATP synthesis and where the reactions occurred. As a result, computer-aided education was concluded as an important approach to eliminate misconceptions and increase students' achievements
