Tyngdkraft - Yngre elevers förståelse och uppfattning : En studie som undersöker yngre elevers uppfattning om tyngdkraft i samtal och genom grafisk representation med pilar
Sammanfattning: In this essay, we have investigated how students in year 2 of primary school understand, perceive and think about the phenomenon of gravity. We have used semi-structured interviews, individually and in pairs, and let the students make their thoughts visible with graphic representation in the form of drawn arrows before and after a practical activity. The current syllabus states that students at the end of year 3 should be able to talk about the phenomenon of gravity (Skolverket, 2019). The results from our study show that students in the early years of primary school have varying perceptions and understandings of gravity. It is not uncommon for students to have misconceptions about such an abstract physical phenomenon as gravity. Our study has shown that students' graphic representation reflects and clarifies students' understanding of gravity. Furthermore, the study confirms that all students who participated in the study can talk about gravity, but that a couple of students needed supportive teaching first. Another result is that students' graphical representation of gravity follows movement direction. We want to recommend teachers of younger students in primary school to emphasize and talk about concepts in physics. We also recommend to use semiotic resources such as drawing arrows and artifacts, in our study we used a solder, to make the phenomenon of gravity visible and thus improve students' understanding. The essay was conducted at a primary school in a medium-sized city in Sweden. The participants were 12 students, divided into 6 couples, who participated after we received the parents' and students' consent.
