Fourth‐grade Elementary Students’ Conceptions of Standards‐based Lunar Concepts (2007, result): “Results from other studies that included children (Barnett & Moran, 2002 ; Baxter, 1989 ; Schoon, 1988 ) are consistent with these findings.”
Big Ideas: A review of astronomy education research 1974–2008 (2010, background): “(1999) worked with 8- and 9-year-olds, Trundle, Atwood, and Christopher (2007a) with 9- and 10year-olds, Barnett and Morran (2002) with 10- and 11-year-olds, and Taylor et al. (2003) with 12- and 13-year-olds. Stahly and colleagues found some limited changes in students’ conceptions, but their study”
Building a learning progression for celestial motion: Elementary levels from an earth‐based perspective (2010, background): “…understanding of the phases of the moon demonstrates how challenging it is to gain a scientific understanding of this phenomenon even with extended instruction (Barnett & Morran, 2002; Baxter, 1989; Kavanagh et al., 2005; Stahly et al., 1999; Trundle, Christopher, & Atwood, 2002, 2006, 2007a,b).”
