Abstract
This research focuses on the derivation relation that exists in the mistaken rules that learners have toward their misconception system. It will suggest a strategy for converting the misconception system. 110 students in Korean elementary, junior high and high schools were tested on the reality of the weight of old dry cells. The results showed that 42% mistakenly thought that as dry cells become old, they lose weight. Moreover, this misunderstanding led students to believe that old dry cells were electrical tin cans. I examined support strategies for converting them into correct concepts. The results of this were that 63% of misconception systems were converted into correct concepts. It became clear through this that, in the case of the problem of the weight of old dry cells, if it is possible to change the misconception of derivation source to a correct version, the misconception system can also be corrected.
