Primary school students’ misconceptions about magnetism: A literature review
Abstract
The subject of Magnetism is a very attractive subject for young children. However, as simple as the phenomenon of magnetism seems, it is complicated for children, especially of preschool age. The present study aims to review the alternative ideas of primary school students in relation to the scientific approach to the concept of Magnetism, in order to draw conclusions that will serve as a theoretical basis for the planning of relevant educational action by teachers.
