Abstract
Misconceptions in middle-school geography classes pose a considerable challenge to students' comprehension of geographical processes. Studies have indicated that numerous misconceptions exist within the student body regarding geography. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and rectify these misconceptions. To address this issue, interviews were conducted with middle-school students. A total of 155 pupils in grades five, six, and seven participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted. Students' understanding of misconceptions was assessed using a descriptive content analysis. In general, the findings indicate that students possess various misconceptions regarding geography topics, which gradually decrease as they progress to higher grades.
