물의 상태 변화에 대한 중, 고등학생의 개념 형성에 관한 연구

A Study on the Secondary School Students' Conceptions about the Changes of State of Water

Secondary school students' conceptions about the phenomena of evaporating, condensing, boiling and melting of ice using a modified questionare-about-events method. The specific views at each grade level were also studied. The results of investigation were as following. 1) Students' understanding on the sciencific concepts and terms is superficial and nonscientific. 2) Even though upper grade students have exposed to a considerable science teaching, their views are similar to lower grade students. 3) Certain views on the change of state of water can change with the advanced science teaching. However, some nonscientific views are more popular with the older students than with the younger students.
