Abstract
There is now broad agreement that learners in primary and secondary school science need
to know how to interpret and construct subject-specific ways of representing science activity
and knowledge. There is also growing recognition that students are more motivated and learn
more when they have opportunities to refine understandings through revising representations.
Drawing on various theoretical perspectives and research studies into the implementation of
this approach in classrooms across diverse topics, we propose a framework of pedagogical
principles to gUide teacher use of this representational focus to enhance learning.
