Conservation in Physics Teaching, History of Science and in Child Development.
Speltini, Cristina; Ure, Maria Celia Dibar
Science and Education, v11 n5 p475-86 Sep 2002
Reports on an exploratory study of the ideas that students in the fourth semester of engineering have about conservation. Reviews the Piagetian position on the importance of conservations in logical operational structures in child development. Discusses the development of conservations in science during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and points out the contrast between this and how most textbooks introduce the subject. (Author/MM)
