Abstract: The knowledge of scientific conceptions is vital for any developing countries like India. While grasping scientific concepts Indian students unwillingly sum many Misconceptions and these misconceptions merely carry forward to the next higher classes together with the conceptions. This paper introduces some theoretical assumptions related to the misconceptions on the basis of thematic review of studies related to the misconceptions and alternative conceptions in context of India as well International. Total 43 studies have been reviewed for this study. This study defines the terms ‘misconceptions’ and ‘alternative conceptions’. The study reviles that Indian studies related to the misconceptions are very less (viz. topics, level/class, textbook, curriculum, teacher related etc.). The study also reviles that some sources and nature of misconceptions.
