Diverses facettes du modèle précurseur : complexité et richesse

ISABELLE KERMEN

Abstract

This text sets out some thoughts and issues raised by an examination of the precursor model, both as a research program and a concept. It examines the original three-part definition, the relationship with school science models, the working-out of the precursor model by the researchers, teaching interventions as a means for pupils to develop the precursor model, and the functions of the precursor model.

Keywords

Precursor model, school science model, early years teaching
