• Theoretical Origins: Initial Theory of Conceptual Change

  • In the early 1980's, a group of science education researchers and science philosophers at Cornell University developed a theory of conceptual change (Posner, Strike, Hewson, & Gertzog, 1982).This theory is based on Piaget's notions of disequilibration and accommodation as well as Thomas Kuhn's description of scientific revolution (Kuhn, 1970).According to Kuhn, scientific revolutions have followed a consistent pattern.First, a dominant scientific paradigm--a basic way of perceiving, thinking, valuing, and doing (Harmon, 1970)--fell into a "state of crisis" by failing to provide solutions or explanations to deal with significant problems identified by the scientific community.Second, an alternative paradigm with the potential to solve these problems had to be available.The existence of these two conditions increased the probability of a "paradigm shift,"or universal adoption of a new framework for thinking.
