Almost half of the biology students teachers have misconceptions in cell divisions particularly
in meiosis. Majority of them cannot establish relationship between cell cycle and division.
Majority of them cannot establish relationship between mitosis and meiosis as well. Hence,
few T&L approaches have been suggested by the author. The author diagnosed misconceptions
among biology students teachers through drawing analysis as well as interview. Therefore, new
teaching strategies have been suggested by the author such as conceptual maps, conceptual
networks, semantic features analysis and conceptual change texts. Conceptual map is a cluster
diagram that illustrates how abstract ideas are related. It is often created to help students
organize their thinking, brainstorm new ways to connect concepts and share information,
helping viewers to understand how one concept relates to other concepts. Conceptual networks
also almost similar with conceptual map but in different orientation. The semantic features
analysis is a strategy to help vocabulary improvement among students as well as help them to
explore interrelationship of terms. With the help of this strategy, students will be able to
identify relationships, make predictions, and master important concepts (Denton et. al, 2007).
