3. Programming Piaget's Logical Operations for Science Inquiry and Concept Attainment

Author

Raven, Ronald J.

Abstract

Describes research studies stimulated by the concern for facilitation of logical operations in elementary school and junior high school children and based on the assumption that the level of reasoning used for inquiry and concept acquisition by every individual is substantially below his capacity.

5. Some Effects of Structured Science and Visual Perception Instruction Among Kindergarten Children

Author

Ritz, William C. and Raven, Ronald J.

Abstract

Presents the procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to examine the effects of portions of two instructional programs in the attainment of reading readiness, visual perceptual, and science process skills in kindergarten children. Results indicate that science and/or visual perceptual instruction can be included in kindergarten programs without impairing the reading readiness attainment of children so trained. (LC)

7. Toward a Philosophical Basis for Selecting Science Curriculum Content

Author

Raven, Ronald J.

Abstract

Based on the premise that thestructure of knowledge can aid in the construction of a curriculum because it can guide the organization of knowledge for learning, the author analyses the structure of some physical science concepts. (LC)

10. The Morphogenesis of Knowledge and the Structure of Learning

Author

Raven, Ronald J.

Abstract

Proposes that an examination of the history of the development of science concepts can reveal conceptual difficulties and guide the development of instructional methods where the student is helped to actively organize information so that he is involved in formulating the concept.'' (AL)

12. The Development of the Concept of Momentum in Primary School Children.

Author

Raven, Ronald J.

Subjects
MOMENTUM (Mechanics), MATTER, SPEED, CRITICAL thinking, SCIENCE education (Early childhood), EARLY childhood education, ELEMENTARY schools
Abstract

The article discusses the development of the concept of momentum in kindergarten and grades 1-3 at the Whittier Elementary School in Berkeley, California. This study determines the sequence of acquisition of concepts that were asked for an understanding of momentum. This sequence is arranged as follows: conservation of matter, speed, the proportional use of mass and speed, and momentum. The analysis shows that the components of this sequence must be achieved before the subject attains the concept of momentum. Results suggest that there was a decreasing degree of difficulty on the tasks from kindergarten through the third grade.

Abstract

The article discusses the development of classification abilities in culturally disadvantaged children. Three groups from middle class and three groups from lower class backgrounds participated in this study. The middle class were enrolled in a public elementary school, while the lower class groups were enrolled in an improvised area.

Abstract

The article presents response to the study on the teaching of the concept of acceleration in elementary school students. The author pointed out that many of the great experiments in science have been questionable such that its often rebellious approaches have caused interesting questions to be asked which in turn led to some of the more outstanding discoveries and theories. The author discusses the approach in teaching the concept of acceleration. Piaget's studies of the development of motion and acceleration that children have more difficulty changing speeds than they do have comprehending uniform speeds.
