| Abstract: | We present a practical way of adapting and using four research-based assessments for different purposes in an electricity
and magnetism course for K-8 science teachers. The course is designed to accomplish conceptual change toward accepted scientific
conceptions as well as introducing teachers to materials and activities appropriate for their classrooms. Our data support
that using the research-based tests to identify alternative conceptions and discuss test results with teachers is a promising
way to use the knowledge of alternative conceptions in professional development. We also identify some mismatches between
the research of conceptual change and its use in programs of professional development.
