Description¶
The article describes conceptual change texts as texts that "define what the conceptual errors of students are and they try to explain these errors with examples" then "prove with explanation or examples that these errors are insufficient or wrong." Drawing on Köse, Ayaş & Uşak (2006), it states changing conceptual errors requires four strategies: awareness that existing knowledge is insufficient, perceiving new knowledge as comprehensible, believing it is reasonable, and finding it useful for later problems.
