Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of computer simulations and real experiments on understanding the concepts of acids and bases. New teaching methods were focused on gaining conceptual knowledge. The investigation was performed on a sample consisted of two hundred and eleven students. The research was carried out with experimental groups and control group. In aim to measure the gained knowledge, a conceptual test of knowledge was performed, and the test results were statistically processed. The results indicated that the students in the experimental groups, showed significantly greater achievement in comparison with the students in the control group. This shows that the implementation of computer simulations and real experiments produced better results in understanding of this concepts and removing the misconceptions.

Keywords: simulations and real experiments; acids and bases; new concepts and misconceptions.
