Impact of “Relation with learning” on scientific conceptions and knowledge among gymnasium pupils
International audience; According Balacheff and Clement models, knowledge (K) and conceptions (C) interact mutually. Clement seems to define conceptions as a set of items fueled by values, practices and knowledge while Balacheff defines knowledge as a set of situated conceptions. Moreover, Chevallard and Charlot make the hypotesis that learning requires a factor commonly underestimated: the “relation with learning”.This study surveys the impact of the relation with learning on the evolution of scientific conceptions and knowledge among learners. It intends to test the Charlot and Chevallard hypothesis as well as the Balacheff and Clement models in order to identify a possible interaction be…
Evolution of scientific conceptions and knowledge among gymnasium pupils
International audience; Two major models investigate the relationship between conceptions and knowledge: the KVP model of Clement and the structural model of Balacheff. In order to prove the necessity to shift the conceptions as claimed by Giordan’s allosteric model, it is important to study the evolution and the relationship between conceptions and knowledge. This research deals with the following questions: what sort of relationship can be established between conceptions and knowledge? What factor can make these two parameters evolve? This study was carried out on 45 pupils (two classrooms). It intended to collect conceptions and knowledge before and after science learning training. Indiv…
Influence of “relation with learning” on a situation of communication teaching-learning for different Scholar pupils
International audience; Communication can be understood as the set of relations between two people interacting. Between learners and teachers, the relationship is induced by a situation of communication teaching-learning. In this constructivism theory, Chevallard and Charlot [1,2] make the hypotesis that learning requires a factor commonly underestimated: the “relation with learning”. This study surveys the impact of the “relation with learning” of pupils under a situation of communication teaching-learning. The evolution of conceptions among learners had been studied in parallel of pedagogical method proposed by teacher.The necessity to change the conceptions in scientific learning is clai…
Study of explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods on knowledge acquisition and conceptual change in science learning
International audience; This study compares two pedagogical methods: explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods. We question the effectiveness of the two learning methods to acquire scientific knowledge and to modify learner conceptions. Do explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods have the same impact on the learning of science? If not, why?The results of this work show that explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods increase strongly acquisition of knowledge and improve weakness conception.So these two methods are same positive effects on acquisition of scientific knowledge but they are also the same negative results on evolution of conceptions because the conc…
