The mixed method was used in the research. Volume of concept form, concept map form and puzzle scales were used to collect quantitative data. Qualitative data was collected through a fully structured interview form. A homogeneous sample was used in the study. A total of 54 students participated in the study (there are 27 students in both experimental and control groups) . The data was analyzed with the help of SPSS and Microsoft Excel program . T-test, Wilcoxon, frequency and percentage techniques were used for descriptive analysis. According to the findings, it was determined that volume of concept had a positive effect on relationship between concepts. No significant relationship was found between the experimental and control groups in regards to concept knowledge. In addition, according to the quantitative findings, concept map was found to be more successful in determining the relationships between concepts. On the other hand, according to the qualitative findings, the volume of concept form and concept map was equally effective in determining the relationship amongst different concepts. In line with the results, volume of concept can be used to determine the relationship between concepts.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Concept, concept map, relationship between concepts, volume of concept. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [sgnova@windowslive.com.

They are the basic units used in the formation of information. Concepts have a definite definition, usage area, quality, quantity or intellectual value (Yeşiltaş et al. , 2017) . They can be abstract, concrete, singular or plural. In short, concepts are the basic building blocks of knowledge (Demirkuş, 2019; Kaptan, 1998) . It is important to learn, understand and use the concepts in the formation of knowledge (Coştu and Ünal, 2005) . In particular, understanding the relationships during the use of concepts is very important for learning (Fredriksson and Pelger, 2018; Karslı and Ayas, 2013) . Indeed, learning a subject depends on understanding the relationships between concepts (Atapattu et al. , 2017) . In  \nthe education environment, concept-related tools are generally used in determining the relationships between concepts.  \nThe tools used in concept association are important values in understanding and connecting concepts (Phanphech et al. , 2019) . In concept association, many more tools such as mind map, concept map, concept network, concept tables, and concept set are used (Alkan, 2011; Kaptan, 1998; MoNE, 2018; Tokcan, 2015) . Also, the volume of concept developed by Gülen (2015) is used. Author claims that the volume of concepts such as the volume of atoms can also exist. There are layers of electrons of atoms. They settle in layers according to their energy level. Furthermore, the number of layers of each atom is directly proportional to the number of  \nelectrons. Similarly, a subject in science can symbolize an atom . The concepts within the subject can be symbolized as an electron. The main concepts of the subject can be located near the center. Intermediate concepts can be located in the distant layers. As the concepts of the subject increase, the number of layers increases. Thus, the volume of concept of a subject can be formed (Gülen, 2015) .  \nThe volume of concept is a circular visu","cbCaikz1uccO9YWG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikz1uccO9YWG","pdf",825514,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Concepts and concept learning\n## Concept association tools\n## Volume of concept tool\n## Construction steps for volume of concept","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study determines how the volume of concept affects students’ understanding of relationships between concepts.\"},{\"question\":\"What methods and instruments were used to collect data?\",\"answer\":\"Quantitative data were collected using volume of concept forms, concept maps, and puzzle scales, while qualitative data came from a fully structured interview form.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings regarding concept relationships?\",\"answer\":\"Volume of concept had a positive effect on understanding relationships between concepts; concept maps were more successful quantitatively.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 8(1) - Research Paper - The effect of ‘volume of concept’ on the level of identifying concepts and understanding of relationships between concepts for 7th grade students | PDF",1792070598,33]
