Structural Patterns in Students' Conceptions in Mechanics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Oliva, Jose Ma – International Journal of Science Education, 1999
Reports the existence of patterns of reasoning that are common to students' conceptions in different areas of mechanics. Finds that the common frameworks between different ideas have a generality level that lies between Piaget's stage theory and the approach of alternative conceptions. Contains 30 references.
