Abstract:

Different strategies which assures learning of science concepts are described. The deepest levels of understanding are achieved neither in the abstracts heights of pure physics, nor by a struggle to eliminate the inexact structures of social communication; but by the fluency and discrimination with which we learn to move between these two contrasting domains of knowledge. Strategies described in the article offer three guidelines for the science teachers i.e. (1) Children should be encouraged to express their own views in a free situation. (2) Children should be confronted with different situations and be allowed to test their own views against experimental observations. (3) It is easier to move children's view from abstract and general to concrete and particular other than reverse.
