Conceptual change, how conceptual understanding is transformed, has
been investigated extensively since the 1970s. The field has now
grown into a multifaceted, interdisciplinary effort with strands of
research in cognitive and developmental psychology, education,
educational psychology, and the learning sciences. Converging
Perspectives on Conceptual Change brings together an extensive team
of expert contributors from around the world, and offers a unique
examination of how distinct lines of inquiry can complement each
other and have converged over time. Amin and Levrini adopt a new
approach to assembling the diverse research on conceptual change:
the combination of short position pieces with extended synthesis
chapters within each section, as well as an overall synthesis
chapter at the end of the volume, provide a coherent and
comprehensive perspective on conceptual change research. Arranged
over five parts, the book covers a number of topics including: the
nature of concepts and conceptual change representation, language,
and discourse in conceptual change modeling, explanation, and
argumentation in conceptual change metacognition and epistemology
in conceptual change identity and conceptual change. Throughout
this wide-ranging volume, the editors present researchers and
practitioners with a more internally consistent picture of
conceptual change by exploring convergence and complementarity
across perspectives. By mapping features of an emerging paradigm,
they challenge newcomers and established scholars alike to embrace
a more programmatic orientation towards conceptual change.
