	abstract = {Concept maps are effective tools for showing the relations between the concepts and they can be used to make clear the relations between the abstract concepts such as hydrocarbons topic. The aim of this research is to determine the abilities of prospective chemistry teachers{\textquoteright} (PCTs) creating concept maps about hydrocarbons. In this research , case study was used and the study was carried out in a university in North Coast of Turkey with 25 PCTs (aged 20-27). PCTs were taught how to create concept maps, types of concept maps such as hierarchical, non- hierarchical and chain or spoke concept maps through example concept maps. In this research context, PCTs were given a text about hydrocarbons and they were supposed to prepare their own concept maps about hydrocarbons. Their concept maps were evaluated according to the reference concept map which was prepared by the researchers. At the end of the research, it is seen that PCTs had difficulty in constructing concept maps. According to the conclusions drawn from the research, some suggestions were offered.},

Within a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design, the study was conducted with 45 8th grade students. To gather data, Chemical Bonding Concept Test (CBCT) with 16 multiple choice questions and clinical interviews with 5 open-ended questions was used to probe their conceptions. Clinical interview questions were prepared in parallel with the same alternative conceptions asked in the CBCT. At the end of the study, context-based approach was found effective at remedying alternative conceptions about chemical bonding. On the other hand, although concept cartoons are found powerful tools to remedy alternative conceptions about chemical bonding, they did not show an extraordinary effect. This suggests that we may need to use more than one intervention method to effectively remedy the alternative conceptions in chemical bonding.},
