When Sociocognitive Transaction among Peers Fails: The Case of Misconceptions in Science.
Levin, Iris; Druyan, Sara
Child Development, v64 n5 p1571-91 Oct 1993
Three groups of sixth, eighth, and tenth graders took pre- and posttests on a Piagetian problem and a problem that evoked a misconception. Two intervention groups engaged in group transactions intended to create inter- and intrapersonal conflicts or took a multiple-choice test. Results indicated that treatment groups progressed on the Piagetian problem and regressed on the misconception problem. (MDM)
