Conceptual Change Text versus Traditional Text and Application Questions versus No Questions in Learning about Electricity.
Wang, Tianyu; Andre, Thomas
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v16 n2 p103-16 Apr 1991
The effects of conceptual change text and application questions in 139 college students' learning of electricity concepts were investigated. The experiment was a 2X2X2X2 factorial. Compared to traditional text and no questions, conceptual change text and application questions, respectively, improved acquisition of qualitative concepts. Implications for instruction are discussed. (SLD)
