Analysis of Analogies Used by Science Teachers.
Dagher, Zoubeida R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v32 n3 p259-70 Mar 1995
Examines the way teachers humanize science by focusing specifically on their use of analogies and metaphors. Explores classroom discourse in order to examine how teachers creatively use analogies to clarify an idea, develop a concept, or communicate a message leading to new research questions about the cultural, linguistic, and social underpinnings of these analogies.
