Tracing its heritage to paradigms and paradigm shifts made famous by Thomas Kuhn, conceptual change research focuses on understanding and explaining learning of the most the most difficult and counter-intuitive concepts. Now in its second edition, the \u003ci\u003eInternational Handbook of Research on Conceptual Change\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive review of the conceptual change movement and of the impressive research it has spawned on studentsâ difficulties in learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn thirty-one new and updated chapters, organized thematically and introduced by Stella Vosniadou, this volume brings together detailed discussions of key theoretical and methodological issues, the roots of conceptual change research, and mechanisms of conceptual change and learner characteristics. Combined with chapters that describe conceptual change research in the fields of physics, astronomy, biology, medicine and health, and history, this handbook presents writings on interdisciplinary topics written for researchers and students across fields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe International Handbook of Research on Conceptual Change\u003c\/em\u003e offers a wealth of ideas, from a range of perspectives, drawing on a diverse literature.
