“…Common approaches to measure conceptualization and understanding include tests and questionnaires [ 46 ], concept maps [ [47] , [48] , [49] ], and think-aloud [ 50 ]. Considering that the concept of DC is extensive, the test approach requires a large number of questions.…”

“…Students have an initial idea before students do learning at school. The initial images possessed by students can be obtained from interactions with the surrounding environment (Prodjosantoso & Hertina, 2019;Soeharto & Csapo, 2022). The initial concept possessed by students can be called preconception.…”

“…Learning complex science concepts will lead to misconceptions (Gurel et al, 2015). The misconceptions that occur in science concepts tend to be resistant to students' thinking (Soeharto & Csapo, 2022). One of the science materials that often occurs misconceptions is the concept of substance pressure.…”

Research aims to find out misconceptions experienced by students on the subject matter of substance pressure. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research using a survey method. The instrumental test used was a three-tier diagnostic test to determine the under-examined misconceptions. The research sample consisted of 43 junior high school students who had previously received substance-pressure learning materials in class. The data were analyzed by categorizing them into understanding the concept, needing more knowledge, errors, and misconception. The results of the study were as follows: (1) 9% of the students understood the concept, 51% of the students had a misconception, 34% of the students were lack of knowledge, and 6% of the students had some errors (2) misconceptions with the highest percentage were in the sub-concept of pressure gases with an average percentage of 70%, then the pressure of liquids (capillarity and osmosis in plant stems) was 52%, the pressure of solids was 51%.

“…Although concepts are seen as mental tools that allow the individual to think, they are seen as an aid in making sense of nature and establishing meaningful communication (Kurt, 2020). As a result of their interaction with the environment, individuals develop experiences to learn new scientific concepts and can create their understanding of science by including them in their learning processes (Soeharto & Csapó, 2022). In this process, in the development of science-related concepts, students may become confused, misinterpret the information, and accordingly misconceptions may arise (Morais, 2013).…”

In this study, it is aimed to examine the effects of science teaching through digital games on students' cognitive structures and concept changes about meiosis topic. In line with the determined purpose, the study group consisted of 50 students studying at the seventh-grade level in public schools. One of the purposive sampling techniques, easily accessible case sampling, was utilized to determine the research group. The research was carried out with a single group pre-test and post-test experimental design. Science was taught to the determined study group by using a game prepared with technology support. The word association test, which was prepared by the researchers after taking expert opinion, was used as a data collection tool and applied as a pre-test and post-test. While analysing the data obtained from the students, frequency tables were created and concept networks were drawn that reveal the cognitive structures of the students.As a result of the research, it was revealed that the conceptual deficiencies of the students about meiosis topic were eliminated. Considering the results of the study, it is suggested that technology-based games are tools whichcan be used in teaching concepts
