Nowadays, there is a tendency to refer to 'wrong concepts' of children as 'alternative conceptions'. This could be attributed to
using fancy terms to describe children's errors
children being thought of as adult-like in their thinking
children's understanding being nuanced and their being passive in their own learning
recognition that children are capable of thinking and their thinking is different from that of adults
For the development or formation of concept in the student, the teacher should
follow simple to complex method of teaching
provide opportunity to the student for ample experience
provide opportunity to the student for transfer of formed concepts
follow all the above activities
Knowing the naive conceptions that students bring to the classroom
does not serve any purpose of the teacher
pulls down the teacher's morale, since it increases his work
helps the teacher to plan teaching more meaningfully
hampers the teacher's planning and teaching
