Wie kommt Grundwasser in der Natur vor ? - Ein Beitrag zur Praxisforschung über physisch-geographische allatgsvorstellungen von Studierenden

D'où vient l'eau souterraine ? Une recherche appliquée menée par des étudiants sur les représentations ordinaires sur la géographie physique

Description :
The paper refers to a pilot study concerning mental models of German teacher candidates about subsurface water. Data analysis using quantitative and qualitative methods showed that students' mental models are partly the result of naïve misconceptions and partly the result of misleading illustrations generally presented to them in textbooks. While classroom instruction generally improved students' concepts a small number of students clung to their naïve misconceptions that seemed to persist unchanged side by side with the scientifically accepted concepts. Overall, students' scientific knowledge about subsurface water is poor. - (IFL)
