Direct linkChu, Hye-Eun; Treagust, David F.; Chandrasegaran, A. L. – Research in Science Education, 2008
This research involved naive physics learners who were interested in majoring in science or engineering. In a semester-long quasi-experimental study, open-ended pretests and weekly interviews were used to analyse the progressive development of students' conceptions relating to sound and wave motion. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted…

Yates, Gregory C. R.; Lyndon, E. Harry – Research in Science Education, 2004
We report on two studies in which high school students who had been exposed to a cognitive training procedure known as the Conceptual Mediation Program (CMP) were compared to students who had not participated within the program. In the first study, based on data from two sites, it was found that 70 CMP students exhibited higher levels of school…
