Using Briding Analogies and Anchoring Intuitions to Deal with Students' Preconceptions in Physics

In this article, to destroy the prejudices of the student are talking about the use of analogy and other teaching methods. Students’ misconceptions and prejudices aimed to develop alternative methos and change.For this purpose, the findings of scientists have done studies on this subject are examined.Analogy method and other methods used in this study, students become aware of alternative concepts and develops new concepts in an intuitive way, guided by the teacher.Small group problem –solving lab, a large group discussion method was used in the invention.In this study , pre-test and post-test were used.Between the experimental and the control group no significant results were obtained in the final test.Associated with the student’s prior knowledge , so the analogy method is used to learn new information become permenent.

Questions:

1. What are the limitations of the method of analogy?

2. Analogy method is used in which stage of course , will be more effective?
