Concept Formation in Biology: The Concept Growth.
Schaefer, Gerhard
European Journal of Science Education, v1 n1 p87-101 Jan-Mar 1979
Analyzes the concept "growth" by investigating the logic core of the concept, using systems theory, and testing it employing free definitions. Determines the associative framework using free association tests. Shows that a shift takes place in the logic core and in the associative framework from a growth in terms of geometric dimension towards a growth in terms of particle numbers. (Author/GA)
