When seeing isn't believing: Influences of prior conceptions and misconceptions
Instruction often employs visual representations to support deep understanding. However, students‟ prior misconceptions may override the meaning in these scaffolds. We investigate fraction bars, a common representation intended to promote sense-making. Our prior work found that students often did not use the fraction bars effectively. This difficulty factors assessment compares four scaffold ty...
متن کاملInvestigating Undergraduate Science Students’ Conceptions and Misconceptions of Ocean Acidification
Scientific research exploring ocean acidification has grown significantly in past decades. However, little science education research has investigated the extent to which undergraduate science students understand this topic. Of all undergraduate students, one might predict science students to be best able to understand ocean acidification. What conceptions and misconceptions of ocean acidificat...
متن کاملCommonsense Conceptions of Emergent Processes: Why Some Misconceptions Are Robust
This article offers a plausible domain-general explanation for why some concepts of processes are resistant to instructional remediation although other, apparently similar concepts are more easily understood. The explanation assumes that processes may differ in ontological ways: that some processes (such as the apparent flow in diffusion of dye in water) are emergent and other processes (such a...
متن کاملHubble's diagram and cosmic expansion.
Edwin Hubble's classic article on the expanding universe appeared in PNAS in 1929 [Hubble, E. P. (1929) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 15, 168-173]. The chief result, that a galaxy's distance is proportional to its redshift, is so well known and so deeply embedded into the language of astronomy through the Hubble diagram, the Hubble constant, Hubble's Law, and the Hubble time, that the article itse...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Studies of Native Americans: Conceptions and Misconceptions of the Population Prehistory of the Americas
For several reasons, mtDNA has been regarded as particularly useful for studying prehistory. The human mitochondrion is an extra nuclear organelle having DNA that exists as a circular molecule 16,569 base pairs in length, in which all nucleotide positions and coding loci are known.3 Because this DNA is uniquely maternally inherited and, unlike nuclear DNA, does not recombine, all changes in mtD...
