ABSTRACT
The students successes in Turkish Education system have been assessed
with classical exams and tests. In general, these assessment techniques
cannot expose how well students understood and what they learned. The
aim of this study is to use the Word Assosiation Test (WAT) to asses
students learning about meiosis division. The WAT was applied on 186 9thgrade students after a week following the lesson about meiosis division.
Concept map has been created with the correct words written by students
who considered that there was a relation amoung given key concepts. It
was found that only 5% of all students learned meiosis division. In
conclusion, it is suggested that motivation stemmed from curiosity should
be created for students to learn biology effectively.
