Description

New students prefer to be taught through being given formulae, memorizing definitions and working through memorandums of previous question papers. They show arrogant attitude when they are not taught differently, such as in Interactive Inquiry Learning manner. They improve their attitude only when the confronting experiments give plausible answers. This is a conceptual change: accommodation.
