Abstract
Visual materials that can be used in classes such as PowerPoint presentations, analogies, documentaries and concept cartoons appeal to more than one sense of students and thus enable them to be more active in the learning process and learn more permanently by structuring knowledge in their minds more easily. In concept cartoons used to discover students’ conceptual structures and develop their comprehension, the intention is to create a discussion environment to reach knowledge by discussions without giving the answers directly. With this purpose, primary school candidates were given a variety of pictures and concept cartoons regarding the mole concept in the general chemistry class in order to explore the effect of these images on the concept learning as well as evaluating their view. This study’s result was parallel to the results of the studies that suggest that concept cartoons are effective on improving student success and developing a positive opinion.
Keywords: Concept cartoons, chemistry education, mole concept.
