Collaborative scientific conceptual change in simulation-supported learning environment |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The purpose of our study is to: 1) propose a new model of conceptual change called collaborative scientific conceptual change model; 2) examine student collaborative scientific conceptual change process while using computer simulations to understand aquarium ecosystem through three perspectives (i.e., cognitive, social, and epistemic) included in the new conceptual change model. We propose that collaborative scientific conceptual change occurs when learners co-construct new knowledge and make a shift from their previous ways of thinking towards the scientific ways of thinking that scientists use to explain phenomena. We report preliminary results of a classroom study exploring how students used the simulations to develop collaborative discourse and applied epistemic practices to achieve conceptual change. The results imply that this new theoretical framework is effective to study conceptual change and the simulation environment may mediate the development of successful collaborative interactions (including collaborative discourse and epistemic practices) that lead to conceptual change. |
