Exploring the Use of Conceptual Metaphors in Solving Problems on Entropy

TL;DR: This paper explored the role of conceptual metaphors (CMs) in scientific problem-solving through a detailed analysis of two physical chemistry PhD students solving problems on entropy, finding evidence that a range of CMs are used in problem solving enabling flexible, experiential construals of abstract scientific concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conceptual Metaphor and Embodied Cognition in Science Learning: Introduction to Special Issue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a special issue of this journal on the theme of "Conceptual Metaphor and Embodied Cognition in Science Learning." The idea for this issue grew out of a symposium that they organized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arrow of Time: Metaphorical Construals of Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, various features of scientific discourse have been characterized in the science education literature, and challenges students face in appropriating these features have been explored using the Framing-based approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taking on the Heat—a Narrative Account of How Infrared Cameras Invite Instant Inquiry

TL;DR: A narrative analysis of how a group of five fourth-graders predicts, observes and explains (POE) how the temperatures change when they pour hot water into a ceramic coffee mug and a thin plastic cup suggests IR cameras could serve as an access point for even very young students to develop complex thermal concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Collaborative and self-generated analogies in science education

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been recognised that analogies may be a useful tool in science education, but it has also been found that there are challenges to using analogies in teaching.
