  1. EDCI488D Week 8 10/17/12

  2. MISCONCEPTIONS • Characteristics • Wrong (based on article) • Could recognize these if statement seems precompiled • Instructional implications • Would try to counteract • Rebuild from ground level P-PRIMS • Characteristics • Building blocks, basal, fundamental • Right but may be misapplied in wrong contexts • Could recognize these if statement seems constructed in-the-moment • Instructional implications • Would try to keep pieces intact but tweak how applied

  3. Our questions • How are misconceptions/p-prims related? • P-prims seem more foundational, with misconceptions built from them • But is a misconception a misapplied p-prim? An incorrect p-prim? (Can there be such things?) Is it a 1-1 correspondence or are misconceptions built from multiple p-prims interacting? • How should they be understood? • As things students “have,” and/or… • As ways instructors interpret students’ mistakes

  4. How can we tell which we’re dealing with? • CAVEAT: “I do not consider the classroom excerpts as data that could validate or invalidate either perspective” (p. 112). • For one of the specific examples (pp. 112-117), think about the following: • Which account seems most plausible to you? Why? • What else would you want to see to be able to decide?
