Conceptual Change and Killer Whales: Constructing Ecological Values for Animals at the Vancouver Aquarium.
Kelsey, Elin
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n5 spec iss p551-60 1991
Examines how the aquarium has attempted to move from a transfer view of knowledge to a constructivist approach in its most popular general public program--the killer whale presentation. The process of change that staff underwent is similar to conceptual change processes among learners of science. Describes constructivist strategies of conceptual challenge that can guide the staff's interaction with visitors. (Author/KR)
