Readers, Texts and Conceptual Change Learning.

Dole, Janice A.

Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties, v16 n2 p99-118 Apr-Jun 2000

Examines reader and text variables related to conceptual change learning from science textbooks. Shows it is difficult to change readers' prior knowledge by reading texts that are inconsistent with that knowledge, but refutation text was shown to impact students' prior knowledge when that knowledge contained naive scientific conceptions. Addresses educational implications. (RS)
