Sammanfattning
The purpose with this study was
to investigate how students relate
their own experience and conceptions
to their understanding of a
written task. Recent research
show that some crucial concepts
that students have about different
phenomena's are hard to change
if the new information contradicts
their previous views.
The study is a case-study where
the case consists of a written
study-task, read and understood
by tree female nurse students.
These three students were observed
and videotaped when thinking
aloud about the task. The
results indicate three assimilating
approaches to the interpretation
of the study-task: 'illuminating,
«verifying», and «comparative».
Only the «comparative» approach
one observes that he/she is
critical to the text being read –
for instance by testing the information
read against own experience
and conceptions and
reverse. In the other two approaches
the students use more of
their own experience in order to
confirm that what they already
know. They are less critical to the
content of the task.
