How different it was at the last meeting of the WTO in Seattle! This time the delegates were met by a rainbow coalition of protesters, from members of trade unions to anarchists and environmentalists. Many of the protests were passive and peaceful, or consisted of demonstrators blocking roads and making it difficult for delegates to get to meetings. However, other demonstrations were violent, and by the end of the first day, shop windows had been broken, cars wrecked d fired tear gas at the demonstrators. a ae ‘ll the fuss about? The demonstrators themselves would not have been abe o agree. The environmentalists were afraid that looser trade laws would allow big business to work from countries which allowed them to pollute the environment. Trade unions were afraid that cheaper labor in the third world would take their jobs, and the anarchists were, well. just being anarchists. _ So with all these objections why did anyone want to increase global trade anyway?

But now do conceptual changes ‘wnnsn? How do Young people change their ways of thinking as they develop and as they leamy in sehiol? "1 Iradiwonal instruction based on telling students how modem scientists think does not seem to be very successful, Students may lean the definitions the formulae, the terminology, and yet still maintain their Previous conceptions. This difficulty has been illustrated many times, for example, when iMstructed students are interviewed about heat and temperature. It is often identified by teachers as a difficulty in applying the concepts learned in the classroom; students may be able to repeat a formula but fail to use the concept represented by the formula when they explain observed events. C. The psychologist Piaget suggested an interesting hypothesis relating to the process of cognitive change in children. Cognitive change was expected to result from the pupils’ own intellectual activity. When confronted with a result that challenges their thinking - that is, when faced ‘with conflict — Pupils realise that they need to think again about their own ways of solving problems, fegardless of Whether the problem is one in mathematics or in science. He hypothesised that conflict brings about disequilibrium, and then triggers equilibration processes that ultimately produce cognitive change. For this reason, according to Piaget and his colleagues, in ordet for pupils to progress in their thinking they need to be actively engaged in solving problems that will challenge their current mode of reasoning. However, Piaget also pointed out that young childrén do not always discard their ideas in the face of contradictory evidence. They may actually discard the evidence and keep their theory. D. Piaget's hypothesis about how cognitive change occurs was later translated into an educational approach which is now termed ‘discovery leaning’. Discovery learning initially took what is now considered the “Ione learner” route. The role of the teacher was to select situations that challenged the Pupils’ reasoning; and the pupils" peers had no real role in this process. However, it was subsequently proposed that interpersonal conflict, especially with peers, might play an important role in promoting cognitive change. This hypothesis, originally advanced by Perret-Clermont (1980) and Doise and Mugny (1984), has been investigated in many recent studies of science teaching and learning, E. Christine Howe and her colleagues, for example, have compared children’s progress in understanding several types of science concepts when they are given the opportunity to obserye relevant events. In one study, Howe compared the progress of 8 to 12-year-old children in understanding what influences motion down a slope, In order to ascertain the role of conflict in group work, they created two kinds of groups according to a pre-test: one in which the children had dissimilar views, and a second in which the children had similar views. They found support for the idea that children in the groups with dissimilar views progressed more after their training sessions than those who had been placed in groups with similar views. However, they found no evidence to support the idea that the children worked out their new conceptions during their group discussions because progress was not actually observed in a post-test immediately after the sessions of group work, but rather in a second test given around four weeks after the group work. F. In another study, Howe set out to investigate whether the progress obtained through pair work could be a function of the exchange of ideas. They investigated the progress made by 12-15-year-old pupils in understanding the path of falling objects, a topic that usually involves conceptual difficulties. In order to create pairs of pupils with varying levels of dissimilarity im their initial conceptions the pupils’ predictions and explanations of the path of falling objects were assessed before they were engaged in pair work.
