Using Analogies to Overcome Misconceptions: A Technology Course Example.
Gokhale, Anu A.
Journal of Technology Studies, v22 n1 p10-14 Win-Spr 1996
Both a control group and experimental group (23 students each) received a lecture on direct current circuits; the experimental group also participated in a lab using a device explaining an analogy for electric current. The experimental group's posttest scores were much higher, indicating that the analogical device helped overcome student misconceptions about electricity. (SK)
