“…In addition, many studies surveying the impact of scientific discussion on developing students' conceptual understanding have been done. In the studies done by Eryılmaz (2002), Gümrah and Kabapınar (2010), Yeh and She (2010), Niaz, Aguilera, Maza and Liendo (2002), Aslan (2010), Demirci (2008), Yeşiloğlu (2007), Eşkin and Bekiroğlu (2008) it was determined that students overcome their misconceptions, increase their understanding of the concepts, and they constructed the concepts meaningfully and correctly as a result of argumentation-based science teaching. The results of these studies showed that conceptual understanding is realized when students have provided with several possibilities, listening their answers, choosing appropriate answers, and reflecting on the idea, counter idea, resistance and contradictions.…”
