Abstract enMisconceptions, that students have, must be determined and overcomed for meaningful and permanent learning. Different instructional methods have to be used to determined studentsâ misconceptions. One of the effective methods using for this purpose is conceptual change texts (CCT). İt is explained that CCT are effective method because they reveal contradictions between scientifically accepted trues and the studentsâ probable misconceptions. The other effective method to overcome studentsâ misconceptions is âComputer Assisted Instructionâ (CAI). CAI is an instructional method which increases the studentsâ motivation and assists the process of instruction, supply the individual learning environment to students and students are active when they are learning anything. In the last years it is seemed that CCT has been using frequently in studies about misconceptions in Turkey. However, when examine this study, while CAI can symbolize the information so students can learn meaningfully and permanently; but it is seemed those researchers havenât used the CAI. Thus, the first researchers in this field meet with various difficulties. In this study, it was aimed that preparing computer assisted conceptual change texts for overcoming pre-service science teachersâ misconceptions and presenting an example of lesson process suitable for this method. For this aim, we used Moodle-Learning Management Systems. Moodle is an Open Source software package and it has generated instructional materials, assignments, exams, forums, chat rooms, and links. It is generally used in e-learning studies. It was thought that this study would present useful information about misconceptions, conceptual change, developing CAI materials and e-learning to new researchers and teachers and also it would contribute for new researchers using computer assisted conceptual change texts and moodle learning management systems in their studies for the first time.
