Abstract
|
|
|
|
In this study, we investigated the characteristics of analogies generated by middle school students in the perspectives of the number of analogies, the mapping understanding, and the diversity and originality of analogs. We also compared the results by students’ scientific creativity, field independence/dependence, and learning approach. Participants in this study were 250 9th graders in Seoul. The analyses of the results revealed that the students of higher scientific creativity generated more analogies, had a higher level of mapping understanding, and used more diverse and original sources. Field independent students had a higher level of mapping understanding. However, the other characteristics of analogies were not related to field independence/dependence. Meaningful understanding approach was related to all the characteristics of analogies, while rote learning approach was not related to any characteristics of analogies. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
