| Özet |
| Word association tests, first used in the field of psychology to understand people's subconscious thoughts, began to be used in the field of education over time to determine the kind of connections students make between concepts, reveal misconceptions, and assess whether these connections are sufficient. In this study, word association tests were used as a pre-test and post-test to reveal students’ misconceptions, the kinds of connections they made between concepts, and to see whether these connections were sufficient or not. The study sample comprised 32 3rd grade students. A word association test prepared by the researcher was used as the data collection tool in the study. The word association test consisted of the words “invent,”“inventor,”“technology,”“need,” and “innovation.” The cut-off point technique was used to analyze the data of the word association test. The pre-test indicated that the students frequently talked about key concepts from daily life. It was observed that the students had some misconceptions. The post-test revealed that the involvement of students' responses to key concepts with the subject increased, and misconceptions were largely eliminated. |
