Two possible sense of

Identifiying Conceptual Change

Intruction which lead to

conceptual change which are

lead the student into surprise.
If students can do it

 Studying Conceptual Change

We need to be able to describe conceptual change in

1. detail

Attempt to reach consensus on the nature of conceptions

2.

Identify categories of conceptual change which are

3. functionally

Investigate the nature of disequilibration

4.

Investigate the process of nurturing conceptual change

5.

Devise methods which can be used by teachers in the

6. classroom
