| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study is to ascertain how much high school pupils understand about microorganisms and their significance. Sixty secondary students from a scientific high school made up the study samples. After discussing the issues of microorganisms, the students were given their questionnaire back to determine their level of improvement and to let them know that microbes are not always beneficial. To dispel some popular misconceptions regarding microorganisms, students were given examples of both beneficial and hazardous microbes. Although microbes are not a major part of their biology classes, it was discovered that the students are aware of them and have usually positive opinions about them because of their advantages. Our research's objectives were to assist students in avoiding infections by various means, distinguishing between the significance of sterilizers and disinfectants, avoiding the negative impacts of certain bacteria, and, lastly, attempting to capitalize on helpful species. It is also anticipated that the message will spread outside of the participants when students tell their friends and family about their experiences. We hope to increase understanding of the significance of microbiology and its dual functions as both beneficial and dangerous to humans through this teaching method. | ||
