Analogical scaffolding and the learning of abstract ideas in physics: An example from electromagnetic waves
This paper describes a model of analogy, analogical scaffolding, which explains present and prior results of student learning with analogies. We build on prior models of representation, blending, and layering of ideas. Extending this model’s explanatory power, we propose ways in which the model can...
