Abstract

This study was made to investigate different studies that carried out on misconceptions about the greenhouse effect, to compare data of different studies and to evaluate relevant teaching programs. The scale that is used in many studies abroad was used in nine studies in Turkey. This scale that is prepared to investigate sources of greenhouse gases, effects, prevention and ways to reduce was applied to primary school students, secondary school students and preservice teachers. The scale was developed 3-point likert-type consists of "yes", "no", "I do not know". In this study that is carried out a qualitative study was examined relevant documents with content analysis. Each common substance marked with "*". As a result of the content analysis, misconceptions about the greenhouse were similar in all educational levels. In addition, annual plans and textbooks of related programs were examined. Attainments of greenhouse gases are given place in 7th grade science and technology and 9th grade biology class. But in science and technology and biology education programs, attainments of greenhouse effects are not given enough space.
