Towards Modifying Children's Ideas about Electric Current.
Osborne, Roger
Research in Science and Technological Education, v1 n1 p73-82 1983
Investigated ideas used/favored by 40 California students (ages 8-12) who received little/no formal teaching about electric currents. Also investigated whether they were interested in or could discuss other childrens' ideas and whether they would change their ideas following exposure to experimental evidence that was at variance with these ideas.
