| Abstract: | Conclusion In concluding this tentative account of our research we can note that the research questions about teachers' alternative frameworks
and their interaction with the curriculum and with classroom learning by students appear to be extremely important questions
for researchers in the area of energy teaching and learning and presumably in wider contexts.
There are also implications for science teacher education, both preservice and inservice. It is clearly necessary to address
the confusion in both teachers' and students' understandings of energy.
We would like to thank Mary and Jack, their Principals, and classes for allowing us to observe their teaching and learning,
SERU colleagues for their sustained support and in particular Mark Cosgrove for his editing of this paper's drafts. |
