ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to compare about scientific conception and misconceptions of students with disabilities, under-achieved and normal students. In this study, we developed and applied a scientific misconception test tool that composed 20 items. The subjects of this study is composed of 65 students with disabilities, 23 under-achieved students and 447 normal students in middle school. The results were as follows: First, although students with disabilities have a lower level of outstanding in scientific conception than normal students, they have little difference from under-achieved students(below 50 points). Second, the response of students with disabilities on scientific understanding is different from that of normal students and the response of students with disabilities and under-achieved students on scientific understanding has both similarity and difference. And scientific misconception within students with disabilities students has shown different aspects from that of normal or under-achieved students.
