Concepts are where the foundation of scientific knowledge and thought structures are laid. Thanks to concepts, distinctions or generalisations about an event or an entity are formed and thought structures are formed in our minds. In this study, it was aimed to determine the associations in the minds of secondary school 6th grade students about the concepts of barcode, banderole, patent, pirate, piracy, R&D, copyright in the 4th unit of the 6th grade social studies textbook and to determine the existing misconceptions. In order to determine the cognitive structures and misconceptions of the students, scanning technique was used as a method. The participants of the study were 60 6th grade students studying at Nazmiye Demirel Secondary School in Isparta city centre in the 2022-2023 academic year. After this test was applied to the students, the words obtained based on the concepts were analysed in detail and then a frequency table showing the frequency of repetition of these words was prepared. Based on the frequency table, cut-off points were determined and concept networks were created. According to the results of the research, when the frequency of association of the concepts in the minds of the students was analysed, it was determined that the key concept that produced the most words was the concept of piracy with 269 words. As can be seen from the table, it was also determined that the most misconceptions existed in the words evoked by this keyword. As a result of the research, it was determined that the keyword with the least number of words produced was the concept of banderole with 143 words. It is predicted that students have both misconceptions about the concept of banderole and learning deficiencies due to insufficient associations. [For the full proceedings, see ED654100.]
