Step-Wise Evolution of Mental Models of Electric Circuits: A "Learning-Aloud" Case Study
ARTICLE

Journal of the Learning Sciences Volume 11, Number 4, ISSN 1050-8406
Abstract
Describes an approach to teaching complex models in science that uses a model construction cycle of generation, evaluation, and modification. Reports on a case study of a student in a tutoring experiment in the study of electric circuits. Focuses on the role of analogies, discrepant events, and the student's moments of surprise as motivators of conceptual change. (Author/KHR)
