Being Constructive: An Alternative to the Teaching of the Energy Concept-Part Two.

Trumper, Ricardo

International Journal of Science Education, v13 n1 p1-10 Jan-Mar 1991

Experiences with an instructional strategy which enabled students to build for themselves the appropriate scientific concept for energy are described. This was done by pupil/teacher dialogue in small groups, in which students were expected to create for themselves a "generalization mechanism" based on their own frameworks. (KR)
