The study determined that students can reveal what they know and understand through drawings. The interpretation of the drawings and interviews gave insight into students’ understanding about cell division and demonstrated that drawings can be an effective method of probing some aspects of their learning difficulties. The literature supports this finding and suggests that students’ drawings are effective in identifying their biological misconceptions (Bahar et al., 2008; Bowker, 2007; Kose, 2008; Reiss and Tunnicliffe, 2001). In this respect, it is recommended employment of the drawing method for determination of the misconceptions and learning difficulties for further studies.
