Science learning as a conceptual and methodological change

Perez, Daniel Gil, Alis, Jaime Carrascosa·1985·European Journal of Science Education

Abstract

Research on pupils’ preconceptions‐particularly in the field of mechanics‐has led to proposals that science teaching should be based on conceptual change strategies. Nevertheless, reservations about this approach have very recently been expressed in two directions, by (1) arguing against the existence of pupils’ alternative frameworks, and (2) suggesting that many intuitive ideas are innate. The inconsistency of both points of view is presented and the need to transform the conceptual change model into a model comprising conceptual and methodological change is argued.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A large body of developmental research indicates that children (and even many adults) are deficient in their understanding of such methodological matters as controlled experimentation and the interpretation of covariation information.

    “A large body of developmental research indicates that children (and even many adults) are deficient in their understanding of such methodological matters as controlled experimentation and the interpretation of covariation information (e.g., Gil & Carrascosa, 1985;Kuhn, 1989;Kuhn et al., 1988;Schauble, 1990;Shaklee & Elek, 1988;Shaklee & Goldston, 1989).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
