Combining Different Conceptual Change Methods within Four-Step Constructivist Teaching Model: A Sample Teaching of Series and Parallel Circuits

Based on students‟ alternative conceptions of the topics „electric circuits‟, „electric
charge flows within an electric circuit‟, „how the brightness of bulbs and the resistance
changes in series and parallel circuits‟, the current study aims to present a combination
of different conceptual change methods within four-step constructivist teaching model.
Therefore, the author assumes that such a design may give a chance to eliminate students‟
alternative conceptions fully. Also, some suggestions were made for further
research.
