Research Abstract |
Investigation was done about the lay theory or misconception (6 areas; animal concept, concepts of plant, preservation of weight on moving objects, preservation of density, preservation of speed and area difference between rectangle with parallelogram those are equal on surrounding length) those had been shown within schoolchildren in past research. About 700 university students was asked. Results showed that more number of students could give right answer than pupil of elementary school on a few questions. The ratio of correct answer of students was no difference from that of schoolchildren in many areas. The former areas or questions were 1) preservation of weight in changing position of weight objects,2)preservation of density,3)preservation of speed. The latter areas were almost all except for above areas or questions. Animal concept which students had is under-generalized from biologically correct one. And many students thought that it needs soil and manure for the germination. They thought that moving objects varied weight in speed. They couldn't predict ups or downs of an object in liquid. They confused width of area on rectangle and parallelogram those are equal on surrounding length. Even the consistent thought to answer couldn't be seen about the role of flowers or seeds in plants. We will reach the conclusion from generalizing these result. That is, it is hardly left of students that learning experience which made school education after the elementary school. And that it is shown that it isn't making use of it at all to the university student
