SEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM MODULATION: ORIGINAL MEANINGS/ANALOGIES BY TEACHERS

The purpose of this study is to identify how frequently teachers use the analogies, included in the 7th Grade Science and Technology Textbook, about the concepts “urinary system, nerves system, screw and inclined plane, series circuit, electric circuit, symbols for elements, the electron’s orbit aro...
