| Abstract: | This study used a conceptual problem solving test to investigate the effect of a series of pictorial analogies on the concepts
of density, pressure, and atmospheric pressure in Year 8 classrooms. The analogies were taught following Glynn's teaching
with analogies model. It was found that the students taught with the pictorial analogies scored significantly higher than
their counterparts (p<01). In addition, the low achievers benefited more from this teaching strategy than did the high achievers. Further, qualitative
analysis revealed that most of the students' alternative conceptions were from preexisting naive intuitions rather than arising
from analog instruction. |
