Social Interaction and the Use of Analogy: An Analysis of Preservice Teachers' Talk during Physics Inquiry Lessons.
Yerrick, Randy K.; Doster, Elizabeth; Nugent, Jeffrey S.; Parke, Helen M.; Crawley, Frank E.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v40 n5 p443-63 May 2003
Presents an existence proof of how preservice science teachers used analogies embedded in their course materials, Physics by Inquiry. Reports three distinct roles of analogies: a) cognitive process skills; b) scientific conceptual understanding; and c) social contexts for problem solving. Agrees on the importance of collaborative problem solving and insertion of analogies for preservice teachers' conceptual development. (Contains 51 references.) (Author/YDS)
