Over the last decades several researchers discovered that children, pupils and even young adults develop their own understanding of "how nature really works." These pre-concepts concerning combustion, gases or conservation of mass are brought into lectures and teachers have to diagnose and to reflect on them for better instruction. In addition, there are 'school-made misconceptions' concerning equilibrium, acid-base or redox reactions which originate from inappropriate curriculum and instruction materials. The primary goal of this monograph is to help teachers at universities, colleges and...
