Study of Formal Reasoning Patterns by Means of Three Piagetian Tasks: Implications for Science Education

Abstract: SummariesEnglish This is the first report of our research into the correlation between intellectual development and students' understanding of scientific concepts and operational science processes. The main aim of the research is the reorganization of the physics contents of high-school courses. We refer to Piaget's cognitive theory because of its relevance to the learning of the formal structure of science.Problems connected with measures of formal level are discussed. Results are reported concerning the reli… Show more

“…(2) FRT: a short version (6 items) of the Classroom Test of Formal Reasoning (Lawson, 1978). To 60 students, randomly selected from the group of 780, three interview Piagetian tasks were administered (Aiello-Nicosia et al, 1980). The rank correlation coefficient between the scores on the classroom test and the total scores on the three Piagetian tasks was r = 0.73 ( p 0.001).…”
