Suggestions

  1. Before teaching the structure of human eye to the PSTs or dissection of the mammalian eye, the questions used in this study can be asked and curiosity can be raised to examine and learn the eye with the PSTs and their motivation can be ensured.
  2. In this study was used different probing understanding methods and techniques could be used for investigating alternative concepts or background of the students related to another science concepts.
  3. Within the teaching process, it is suggested that the teachers and lecturer should enable the students to make associations between the different disciplines. Moreover, while teaching human eye, an attention must be paid to associate it with the science and technology, society and environment. Therefore, the PSTs and students can be encouraged to learn knowledge about the treatment of human eye defects. 
  4. However, the study has some limitations in providing concrete evidence about any teaching activity the paper is a survey. For this reason, to investigate effects of any teaching methods or techniques in a comparative manner (experimental research design), further research should be undertaken. When such studies are prepared, lack of knowledge and alternative concepts of the PSTs determined in this research might be taken into consideration.
