Answer
  • Memorize terms and definitions presented by the text.
  • Select specific aspects of incoming information to consider
  • Organize the selected information in various ways such as by sequencing, classifying, connecting, and relating to form new factual and conceptual knowledge.
  • Integrate new knowledge with prior knowledge, thus expanding the knowledge base

Question 11

Question
Children’s misconceptions
Answer
  • can be seen as necessary conceptual stepping stones on a path toward more accurate knowledge.
  • should be seen as attempts by children to make sense of the world around them.
  • build on more correct notions that coexist with the misconceptions.
  • may reflect mistaken ontological commitments which, when altered, allow the child access to other, more relevant, and already present concepts.
  • all of the above

Question 12

Question

  • all of the above

Question 13

Question
For conceptual change to occur, the teacher must do all EXCEPT:
Answer
  • present scientific conceptions.
  • recognize students’ current misconceptions
  • help students become dissatisfied with them.
