Abstract

As for the conservation of mass, conceptual change is difficult. The development of an effective teaching method is needed. The purpose of this paper is the following two points. First, it is to examine whether externalizing the idea of the students by a figure is effective for conceptual change. Next, it is to examine whether discussion in small group in addition to externalizing the idea of the students by a figure is effective for conceptual change. The findings of this study are as follows: (1) Only the method of externalizing the idea of the students by a figure is not more effective for conceptual change of the conservation of mass. (2) It is effective teaching method that externalizing the idea of the students by a figure and having the discussion in small groups induces for conceptual change of the conservation of mass.
