gender, socio-economic status, interest, experience and misconception scores were found. The difference between misconception scores of male and female students was significant in favor of males. However, when the data were analyzed using ANCOVA while controlling students&
socio-economic status, interest in static electricity and experience about static electricity, no difference was observed between the misconception scores of male and female students.
