Conceptual dynamics: Following changing student views of force and motion

摘要: This paper develops the phenomenological framework and methodology of “conceptual dynamics” in order to identify student views physical world explore dynamic process by which these are transformed during instruction. Conceptual dynamics aids determination multiple views, even for large numbers students instructional settings, provides a method ordering into learning hierarchies. The methods conceptual then applied specific area physics—force motion, behavior objects moving as result forces acting on them. Common force motion different cases that distinguish articulated hierarchies established allow statistical prediction progression through various views. Newton’s First Second Laws, example, become Four Student Laws Force Motion where relationships...
