Description

In this chapter a literature survey is presented on the current educational theories about learning material-related concepts. Current educational theories suggest that learning is a matter of reconstructing knowledge by the learner rather than a mere transfer of knowledge from an expert to a novice. The most appropriate strategy for teaching and learning therefore is to make explicit the learner's pre-concepts, create cognitive conflicts with the scientific concepts where necessary and thus prepare the learner for adapting his/her conceptual thinking. For materials, it is known that young children even have difficulties in understanding basic concepts related to materials and material properties. Other conceptual barriers arise at late ages. One particular conceptual issue in learning materials in a design context is the relation between the physical nature of the artifact-in-design and the functional-artifact-in-design. This implies that learning about materials comprises at least three types of knowledge: knowledge of the material properties, knowledge of desired functions and knowledge of relations between these two (“this material is proper for that function, or: this function can be realized with that material). Recently, it has been suggested that abstract notions such as material properties and artifact functions should be learnt by going through a series of contextual experiences, from which generic characteristics can be derived that enable the learner to develop the more abstract notion. This is what is called the concept-context approach.
