Misconceptions – Earth in Space
The misconceptions topic I have chosen is the Earth in space. I chose this topic as it is related to my progression of a theme assignment and also because I wanted to see if pupils had similar misconceptions before and after learning a topic.
I interviewed groups of three pupils with a total of six pupils from a year group. The year groups I interviewed were year 7, 8, 10 and 11.
Pupils in year 7 have yet to learn this topic while the older pupils have met it before at some point in their school life.
The basic outline of questions I chose to ask remained roughly the same for each group and they are outlined below.
