Supporting the use of concept cartoons

August 1, 2011
Concept cartoons, with characters expressing both scientific viewpoints and common misconceptions, provide a ready stimulus for discussion. In debating the ideas, students articulate their thoughts, challenge each other, propose claims and explanations, and justify their reasoning. However, this study finds that these activities do not happen automatically and need considered support from educators.
