Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN EDUCATION METHODOLOGY - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This research studied the mental representations of 11-year-old Greek students concerning the mechanisms for vision in day and night condition. The aim was to examine the prevalent mental representations that students hold in order to explain the way a person is able to see an object during the day and during nighttime, to recognize possible differentiations among the representations of the two conditions and compare them.
