Use of Repertory Grids in Facilitating Knowledge Construction and Reconstruction in Geology.
Bezzi, Alfredo
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v33 n2 p179-204 Feb 1996
Describes a case study of the social construction of knowledge when undergraduate students are engaged in collaborative analysis of repertory grids produced by themselves and their instructor. Results indicate that this approach motivates students to be responsible for their own learning, allows students to communicate their understanding, and makes this understanding open for scrutiny. Contains 52 references. (Author/JRH)
