Conceptual Structure in Childhood and Adolescence

The Case of Everyday Physics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Children's pre-instructional conceptions of the physical world are a far cry from the received wisdom of science; despite their lack of orthodoxy, children's conceptions carry a definite sense of causal mechanism. This sense of mechanism is the focal concern of this book, first published in 1998.
