The aim of this research is to investigate students' and experts' understandings of fundamental concepts of genetics. The aim also is to investigate teaching strategies that will develop appropriate concepts for living in a biotechnological world. This is significant because genetics is critical content knowledge for general scientific literacy. This is the first research to investigate how children's theories of genetics develop and it brings together two successful theoretical approaches. The outcomes of this qualitative research will be detailed descriptions and interpretations of what children already know about genetics, what they should know, and effective teaching strategies for conceptual change.

本研究的目的是调查学生和专家对遗传学基本概念的理解。其目的也是调查教学策略，将制定适当的概念，生活在一个生物技术的世界。这是重要的，因为遗传学是一般科学素养的关键内容知识。这是第一个研究儿童的遗传学理论是如何发展的，它汇集了两个成功的理论方法。这项定性研究的结果将详细描述和解释儿童已经知道的遗传学知识，他们应该知道什么，以及概念转变的有效教学策略。
