Documenting Students' Science Knowledge

SCI6542 / 4 q.h.
Formerly SCI 3642.

Designed to help teachers learn how to determine what their students really know (or think they know) and understand about the science in their everyday world. A great deal of research has been focused on this subject because it is now known that students’ science misconceptions can actually interfere with learning new information. Offers participants an opportunity to explore ways to unveil student misconceptions and learn how to deal with them when they arise.
