EFFECTIVENESS OF EPISODIC CONCEPTUALIZATION STRATEGY ON REDUCING MISCONCEPTION IN SELECT CONCEPTS OF PHYSICS AMONG IXth STANDARD STUDENTS

Abstract

OBJECTIVE  To investigate the effectiveness of episodic conceptualization strategy on reducing misconception in select concepts of physics. METHODOLOGY Method : Experimental Method Sample : IXth Standard Students in a higher secondary school Tools :Lesson Transcript Based on Episodic Conceptualization Strategy, Lesson Transcript Based on Existing method,Test of Misconception in Physics. Statistical techniques : Descriptive statistics, Test of significant difference between mean scores, Ancova (analysis of covariance). RESULT This study shows that there exists a significant difference in the pre-test, post-test scores of misconception tests among secondary school students when the episodic conceptualization strategy applied for the total sample. KEY TERMS : Misconception in Physics, Episodic Conceptualization Strategy CD.No. 492
