Corradi, David M. J.; Elen, Jan; Schraepen, Beno; Clarebout, Geraldine – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
When learning with abstract and scientific multiple external representations (MERs), low prior knowledge learners are said to have difficulties in using these MERs to achieve conceptual understanding. Yet little is known about what these limitations precisely entail. In order to understand this, we presented 101 learners with low prior knowledge…
