A Study of Change in Students' Conceptual Frameworks in Astronomy.

Finegold, Menachem; Pundak, David

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v17 n1 p151-66 1991

School students' conceptual frameworks in astronomy and students' levels of knowledge and conceptualization were examined for 130 students in grades 2 through 12. Knowledge and conceptualization increased with school age. A test administered to 892 students in 7 schools demonstrated that schools contributed little to education in astronomy. (SLD)
