Abstract

The study presented in this paper explores junior high school students' comprehension of basic OO concepts. It summarizes major (mis)conceptions demonstrated by the students in two main categories: confusion of (1) taxonomic and (2) partonomic hierarchies with classes, objects and their interrelations.
