Conceptual change of K-8 science teachers in Force and Motion.Many research results in science education have shown that the conceptual change of learners is hard to accomplish. Employing different types of evidence including pre- and post-test, formative assessments, videotape, interviews, and observations, we in this study identified some key factors that explain why many K-8 science teachers hold alternative conceptions and why many of these conceptions are resistant to change. Detailed analysis of teachers' understandings, confusions and rethinking processes on buoyant forces of air and water in a professional development course in Science Outreach Science outreach, also called Education and Public Outreach (EPO or E/PO) or simply Public outreach, is an umbrella term for a variety of activities by research institutes, universities, but also institutions such as science museums, aimed at promoting public at Washington University Washington University, at St. Louis, Mo.; coeducational; est. as Eliot Seminary 1853, opened 1854, renamed 1857. It has a well-known medical school and school of social work as well as research centers for radiology, space studies, engineering computing, and the in fall, 2004 is presented. This course is one among many currently under the systematic reform of regional professional development program by intervention of the St. Louis Center of Inquiry for Science Teaching and Learning (CISTL CISTL Center for Inquiry in Science Teaching and LearningCISTL Configuration Item Software Team Leader ).
