Facilitating Conceptual Change in Gases Concepts

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction (CCOI) over traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI) on overcoming 10th grade students’ misconceptions on gases concepts. In addition, the effect of gender difference on students’ understanding of gases concepts was investigated. The subjects of this study consisted of 74 10th grade students from two chemistry classes. One of the classes was assigned as experimental group and the other group was assigned as control group. The experimental group was instructed with CCOI and the control group was instructed by TDCI. Gases Concept Test (GCT) was administered to both groups as pre- and post-tests to measure the students’ conceptual understanding. The results showed that students in the experimental group got higher average scores from Gases Concept Test. Also, a significant difference was found between the performance of females and that of males in terms of understanding gases concepts in favor of males.

概念改变教学的新视角——以扩散概念为例

概念学习一直是科学学习和教学的重要问题。为了帮助学生学习新概念,改变原有的错误概念,研究者和教师开发了各种教学策略。然而有些错误概念仍难于改变。有时,学生可以部分地完成错误概念,但是在教学介入后一段时间,部分的改变也会消失。究其概念难于改变的原因,其中一个就是错误概念不仅仅涉及学生对概念命题本身的理解,更可能要涉及学生对整个物理系统的理解①,近年美国学者Chi等人②③④从概念的本体类别观点出发深入解释为什么有些概念如此强烈地抗拒转变。     

Facilitating Conceptual Change in Students' Understanding of Ecological Concepts

In this study, the effect of conceptual-change-texts-oriented instruction to seventh-grade students' understanding of ecological concepts was investigated. Using information collected through interviews and related literature, the Ecology Concept Test was developed and administered to 58 elementary students in two classes of an elementary school before and after the treatment. The experimental group received conceptual-change-texts-oriented instruction and the control group received traditional instruction. Results of independent t test analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the gain score means of the students in both groups with respect to ecological concepts in favor of experimental group after the treatment.

晚清对外观念中的变与不变

第一次鸦片战争后,清朝上下保持一贯的＂华夷观念＂,将鸦片战争的失败合理化为＂招抚＂夷人的结果,而不顾国力强弱的对比。面对第二次鸦片战争再次战败的结果,统治者被迫接受彼强此弱的现实,调整观念中的＂华＂、＂夷＂区隔,对外采取注重信义的＂和戎外交＂政策。而在观念的最末处,仍保留着一块修护尊严的居所。

Structuring Cooperative Learning for Motivation and Conceptual Change in the Concepts of Mixtures

This study investigates the effect of structuring cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on grade 9 students’ understanding the concepts of mixtures and their motivation, compared with traditional instruction. Among six classes of a high school, two of them were randomly assigned to cooperative learning group where students were instructed by Cooperative Learning based on Conceptual Change (CLCC), the other two classes were randomly assigned to traditional learning group where students were instructed by Cooperative Learning based on Conceptual Change without well-structuring the basics of cooperative learning (CLCC(?)), and the remaining two classes were randomly assigned to control group where students were instructed by Traditional Instruction (TI). Mixtures Concept Test (MCT), motivation section of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) except goal orientation sub-scales, and Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ) were assigned to the sampled students before treatments are commenced as pretests and after treatments are completed as post-tests. According to post-test scores, there were statistically significant mean differences among the groups exposed to variations of cooperative learning based on conceptual change and traditional instruction with respect to students’ understanding the concepts of mixtures and their motivation. Results drawn upon this study revealed specifically that students exposed to CLCC had better understanding and lower alternative conceptions about the concepts of mixtures, perceived contents related to chemistry more valuable, felt greater control over their own learning, dealt better with sense of worry and emotionality during tests, adapted performance avoidance goals less, and mastery approach goals more than students instructed by CLCC(?) and TI.
