Abstract
In this study, we investigated the influences of the method of using analogy on concept understanding, mapping understanding, and mapping error by analogical reasoning ability level. We also investigated students' perception of a role-playing analogy activity. Seventh graders (N=152) at a middle school were assigned to the comparison and the experimental groups. The students of the experimental group were taught about 'the relation between pressure and volume of gas' with experience-based role-playing analogy, while those of the comparison group were taught with explanation-centered analogy. Analyses of the results revealed that the instruction using roleplaying analogy was more effective in concept understanding and retention of mapping understanding than explanation-centered analogy instruction, regardless of analogical reasoning ability level. It was also found that the students of the experimental group had fewer mapping errors than those of the comparison group. However, there was little difference in t pes of mapping errors by the method of using analogy. The students of the experimental group answered that they did not have difficulties in performing the role-playing analogy activity and they actively engaged in the activity. They perceived that the role-playing analogy activity was interesting. Educational implication of these findings are discussed.
