The Accommodation of Science Pedagogical Knowledge: The Application of Conceptual Change Constructs to Teacher Education.
Stofflett, Rene T.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v31 n8 p787-810 Oct 1994
A study involving elementary teachers was conducted to investigate whether the conditions of the accommodation of a science conception could be applied to pedagogical conceptions of science and, using this application, determine whether a group of elementary teacher candidates in a conceptual change methods course accommodated their didactic preconceptions of science teaching. Implications are discussed. (ZWH)
