How Do Biology Teacher Candidates Know Particulate Movements & Random Nature of Matter and Their Effects to Diffusion | Kogi State University Open Education Resources (OER) (original) (raw)

The previous researches results seem to suggest that some aspects of learning of diffusion and osmosis concepts such as membranes, kinetic energy of matter, and elements of the particulate and random nature of matter could lead to misconceptions. The concept of diffusion is very common in science instruction, and understanding the concept is an important precursor to instruction in life science and physical science. The leaening of concentration and tonicity processes of diffusion and osmosis, life forces influence on diffusion and osmosis, and random nature of matter were difficult learning for students. It appears that misconceptions may play a larger role students learn diffusion and osmosis concepts. What could be take place the active role of the student learning without misconceptions of difussion and osmosis? It is possible suggest, students should actively engaged in constructing knowledge. During each phase of the learning, students should actively manipulating materials, r...
