Open full text 13 citations

Abstract

The stereotyped instruction system is the traditional method of imparting instructions. This method imparts the information without knowing the existing level of understating of the learner. This leads to a series of misconceptions. A concept inventory identifies the misconceptions with respect to important concepts. This paper aims at assessing the students' prior knowledge and identifying misconceptions. It uses concept inventory as a tool to overcome misconceptions. The change in conceptual development is measured.
