  • SCE 504: Teaching for Conceptual Development in

    3.00 Credits
    National Louis University

    Science Conceptual change is a powerful idea for transforming science education. Emerging from the history and philosophy of science as a way of understanding the difficulties people experience in changing from one explanatory framework to another, conceptual change offers crucial insights into meaningful learning in science for young children as well as instructional practices that facilitate conceptual development of essential science content. This course critically examines theories and models of conceptual change in science and their relationship to the scientific literacy imperative, explores constructivist links, and considers implications that conceptual change theory might have for learning and teaching in science. 3 semester hours
