碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 87 === The Study of Physics Conceptual Change Based on A learning Cycle of Group-Discussion Analogical-Learning at Junior High Level Abstract The study in qualitative aspect aimed at using a learning cycle of group-discussion analogical-learning to let junior students learn physics concepts(pressure) and discussing the phenomena,analogical mapping,and concept change in the teaching experiment.The subjects consisted of a class of students in one junior high school in Changhua, Taiwan.The students were divided into seven groups and two of them were chosen to observe.The subjects received a test about the concept level and the concept map before the teaching experiment and also received the same test after the teaching experiment.The teaching experiment was recorded by video tape and note book. It is discovered that one of the groups chosen to observe had strong discussion and the other had weak discussion from the comparison of tests and the video tape.The major findings of this study are that: 1. From the cognition aspect,strong-discussion group completed learning by analogical learning cycle and the leader of the group.From the attitude aspect,though the discussion of strong-discussion group was not so much,it stimulate the learning desire of the members.Frome the society aspect,the strong-discussion group had member to play the role of leader and he could make a conclusion and resolve the questions from the other members.From the all,strong-discussion group is more active and positive than weak-discussion group. 2. The analogical mapping of strong-discussion group was made by four analogical mechanism of analogical learning cycle, observing bridging analogies, and the discussion between the group leader who had completed analogical learning and the other group members. 3. The concepts change of strong-discussion group members is more obvious than the members of weak-discussion group,especially the leader of the former can map the concept "p=hd" to different field and affect the other group members.It is observed that discussion affects the analogical learning to some degree.
