Student Restraints to Reform: Conceptual Change Issues in Enhancing Students' Learning Processes.
Thomas, Gregory P.
Research in Science Education, v29 n1 p89-109 1999
Describes a teacher-researcher's investigation into barriers to student adoption of an alternative referent for learning and its consequential learning strategies in an 11th-grade chemistry class. Suggests that various contextual factors influenced students' willingness to adopt the alternative referent, and that students' beliefs, trust of the teacher, and ownership of the change process should be taken into consideration. Contains 63 references. (Author/WRM)
