Conceptual coherence revealed in multi-modal representations of astronomy knowledge
Abstract: The astronomy concepts of 345 young people were studied over a 10-year-period using a multi-media, multi-modal methodology in a research design where survey participants were interviewed three times and control subjects were interviewed twice. The purpose of the research was to search for evidence to clarify competing theories on conceptual coherence versus knowledge-in-pieces, distinguishing between coherence as revealed in the representational systems at any particular stage in a young person’s development and the changes evident in mental growth thereafter. Thus five research questions concerned with the elements and structure of understanding were investigated: (a) conceptual coherence shown as patterns of high correlation of concept representations between the media used to assess subjects' understanding within a survey, as well as (b) coherence revealed as consistency of representation of those concepts across media and modalities; (c) enhanced conceptual understanding and sk
