Structural Patterns in Students' Conceptions in Mechanics.
Oliva, Jose Ma
International Journal of Science Education, v21 n9 p903-20 Sep 1999
Reports the existence of patterns of reasoning that are common to students' conceptions in different areas of mechanics. Finds that the common frameworks between different ideas have a generality level that lies between Piaget's stage theory and the approach of alternative conceptions. Contains 30 references.
