The sample of this study is composed of 68 students (control group=35, experiment group=33) who are studying in an elementary school in Agri city center in 2010-2011 academic years. In this study, two different classrooms which were grouped before were determined as experiment and control groups. In addition, pseudo-experiment design was used to determine misconceptions of these groups who were not matched by applying pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics method and were presented with the help of frequency and percentage tables. According to the findings of this study, both the computer based instruction and traditional instruction have effect on resolving the misconceptions.
