Using Bridging Analogies and Anchoring Instutions to Deal with Students' Precenceptions in Physics - John Clement

The analogies and different types of instructional strategies, which are uses to overcome the students’ preconceptions in physic s, are stated in this article and the terms that uses in bridging analogy are being defined.  Bridging analogy is also been exampled in this article. One of these examples is Newton’s Third Law. The bridging and anchor analogy is been used to design several lessons to test their success and the result shows the prior knowledge’s importance and the anchor analogies success in retention of knowledge.

1)  How can we successfully use anchors in lower classes while there is less prior knowledge.

2)   Do we need to limit the analogy in science teaching or should let the students to use it in every subject on their own.
