Action Research For Conceptual Change In Junior High School Students' Preconceptions Of Circuit And Current

The developing of teacher′education concept requires teachers to be researcher which not only has already generally accepted by Education and society, but also the Pursuit goal of them. But how do teachers to carry out research, U-S collaborative research provide a unique attempt to help them.In order to transform the primary school pupils' preconceptions of circuit and current, I conducted the action research with my partner who teaching physics in a middle school. Before the implementation of teaching, we collect information by questionnaire , reading relevant literature and interviews. For the purpose of reach a consensus on key issues of teaching, we creation of dialogue situation on the Practice platform . Instructional design on the basis of the following instructional models: First, students began with a perplexing situation, formulated a tentative interpretation; then, requiring evidence by laboratory activities, and interpret newly acquired information by restructuring their preconceptions ;Finally,applying the new concept to a novel situation. During the implementation process of teaching, I acted as a participatory partner, collected data by the method of participant observation, discussed with my partner in time and amended the next plan.This is a case study of narrative. Through I reflect the process of "action" and "research" ,I understanding of inquiry-based teaching,change of concept and action research . Guided inquiry can best focus learning on the development of particular science concepts. More open inquiry will afford the best opportunities for cognitive development and scientific reasoning. The transform of student′preconception is a long time. The change and develop of student′conception followed the develop of the conception model. Student would change their′preconception only if they have a science conception model. And also I realized that successful cooperation based on mutual respect, the respect is not only means a simple recognition of the division of labor, but also means the efforts to enter each other's positions and experience, understand the overall significance of things.
