An Analysis of the Science Education Problem of Teaching Density as Approached From Two Different Piagetian Research Perspectives: Operationalism and Constructivism
This study examined the science education problem of junior high students not learning science concepts requiring formal operational reasoning--concepts such as density. A number of researchers have suggested classifying students into the Piagetian stages of concrete operations or formal operations. They have found that most junior high students can be classified as concrete operational.
