dc.description.abstractIn this study, alternative conceptions and myths concerning with snakes of 7th grade students were investigated. The study sample consisted of 423 students (211 girls, 202 boys) in nine cities (Adi{dotless}yaman, Aydi{dotless}n, Denizli, Diyarbaki{dotless}r, Gaziantep, i{dotless}zmir, Mardin, Muş, Batman). Data were gathered through a questionnaire consisting of 28 items, which was developed by the researcher. The items in the questionnaire were grupped under four sections as; venom and emergency medical treatment for snake bites; human-snake relationships and myths; feeding habits of snakes; classification and morphological properties of snakes. Statistical analysis showed that; students don't have enough knowledge about snakes and therefore they have various alternative conceptions; common beliefs are frequently observed among students and they are the causes of alternative conceptions.
