Conceptual Difficulties Experienced by Senior High School Students of Electrochemistry: Electric Circuits and Oxidation-Reduction Equations.
Garnett, Pamela J.; Treagust, David F.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v29 n2 p121-42 Feb 1992
Interview data exemplify students' attempts to integrate the concepts of electrochemistry with related knowledge that they had previously constructed or acquired in other classes. The implications for minimizing potential misconceptions center on the difficulties students experience when using more than one model for explaining scientific phenomena. (JJK)
