Abstract

In all academic disciplines, students make sense of new experiences and construct meaning by relating new concepts to what they already know or believe. This preexisting knowledge serves as the immediate context for interpreting new learning. Teaching for conceptual change is a pedagogical approach that helps students reveal what they think they know about a topic, discern the quality of that information, and construct new understanding to serve as the foundation for future learning.
