TL;DRAbstract
In this essay, I compare and contrast four views of conceptual change—Vosniadou’s synthetic meaning view, Chi and Roscoe’s misconception repair view, diSessa’s knowledge-in-pieces view, and Ivarsson, Schoultz, and Säljö’s sociocultural view. In particular, I compare these four views in terms of what changes during conceptual change, who changes, how the change occurs, where the change takes place, the role of prior knowledge, and whether their is research evidence. As a conclusion, I offer a proposal for reconciling alternative views of conceptual change.
