Publication Date: | 2002 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/23225 | Abstract: | The Science Concept Survey (SCS) instrument was developed from interviews with pre-service science teachers in Australia and Fiji and a pilot study undertaken in Fiji. Items consist of questions drawn from Interviews-About-Instances (IAI), Interviews-About-Events (IAE) and Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) activities related to Kinetic Theory. Administration of the instrument to a cohort of pre-service teachers in Fiji (n=143) reveals that the SCS is a useful tool for the elicitation of student scientific and alternative conceptions, and is able to distinguish between different cohorts of students. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 25(1), p. 25-40 | Publisher: | Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation, Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics | Place of Publication: | Malaysia | ISSN: | 0126-7663 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 130202 Curriculum and Pedagogy Theory and Development 130103 Higher Education |
