| Abstract: | There is growing research interest in both the challenges and opportunities learners face in trying to represent scientific
understanding, processes and reasoning. These challenges are increasingly well understood by researchers, including integrating
verbal, visual and mathematical modes in science discourse, and making strong conceptual links between classroom experiences
and diverse 3D and 2D representations. However, a matching enhanced pedagogy of representation-rich learning opportunities,
including their theoretical justification, is much less clearly established. Our paper reports on part of a three-year project
to identify practical and theoretical issues entailed in developing a pedagogical framework to guide teacher understanding
and practices to maximize representational opportunities for learners to develop conceptual understandings in science. |
