We propose a new instructional theory, the Domain of Validity (DoV) Framework, which offers a new way forward for designing teaching for conceptual change, while also resolving conflicts between existing theories related to common, difficult-to-change conceptions students have about particular scientific topics. We propose that knowledge consists o...

Believing that "the Earth is flat in all circumstances" is an overgeneralisation from everyday experiences of the domain of validity of this model: it serves us in the situation of housebuilding, but not when putting a satellite into orbit. ...
