- Abstract
The article looks into the relationship between mental maturity, ability level, and level of understanding of three categories of science concepts. Significantly, concepts in the learning-teaching process in sciences comes from consideration of the philosophic structure of scientific knowledge. Furthermore, such concepts are divided into three categories such as classificational, correlational, and theoretical. Moreover, the nature and processes of concept development have had the attention of some researchers in science education who tries to address: (1) the factors that affect concept learning; or (2) the learnability of science concepts of various levels of sophistication at certain grade levels.
