Little Red Riding Hood: An Analogy to Teach Simple Electric Circuits
Cansiz, Nurcan; Cansiz, Mustafa; Aytürk, Seyma
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v93 n5 p241-247 2020
In this study, an analogy has been developed to teach students electric circuits in a more concrete way. A connection between the elements of electric circuits and the characters in the Little Red Riding Hood story has been established to teach how simple electric circuits work. In addition to the similarities in the story, we have indicated where the analogy between the analogue concept (Little Red Riding Hood) and the target concept (simple electric circuits) breaks down, and suggested several ways to address any misconceptions that might arise during the implementation.
