REPRÉSENTATIONS MENTALES ET OBSTACLES DANS LA PENSÉE DES ENFANTS DE 6 ET 11 ANS SUR LA FUSION DE LA GLACE / MENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND OBSTACLES IN THE THINKING OF 6- AND 11-YEAR OLDS ABOUT ICE MELTING

Abstract


Les enfants construisent des représentations des concepts et des phénomènes physiques et ces représentations sont essentielles à l'éducation. Pour le physicien, le changement d'état est une transformation de la matière due à un transfert d'énergie sous forme de chaleur. Dans plusieurs études portant sur les représentations des enfants, est constaté que ces représentations sont souvent incompatibles avec le modèle scientifique. Dans cette recherche, où nous avons étudié les représentations de la fusion de la glace, 96 enfants âgés de 6 et 11 ont été interviewé. Les résultats ont mis en évidence les difficultés des enfants et les différences entre les enfants des deux âges.

 

Children construct representations of physical concepts and phenomena, and these representations are essential to education. For the physicist, the change of state is a transformation of matter due to a transfer of energy in the form of heat. In several studies on the representations of children, it is found that these representations are often incompatible with the scientific model. In this research, where we studied the representations of ice fusion, 96 children aged 6 and 11 were interviewed. The results highlighted the children's difficulties and the differences between the children of both ages.
