A critical constellation
• Disciplinary meaning is distributed across
representations (we use the term resources to
include physical objects and experimental routines).
• Airey & Linder (2009) suggested students need
fluency in a critical constellation of resources.

A persistent resource
• Students need a persistent resource that functions
as a coordinating hub (Fredlund et al. 2012).

In books coordinates appear fixed:
In order to successfully solve physics problems
students need to realize that coordinate systems are
not fixed… How can we teach this?
Teacher demonstration with a physical coordinate
system…
But can students discover this for themselves?

Mediating tool: IOLab
• Device with a coordinate
system printed on it.
• Gives visual display (graph)
on a laptop.
• Has pedagogical
affordances, but generic.

Theory
Multi-representational learning sequence:
1. Set of non-persistent resources
2. Coordinated around a persistent resource
3. Creates a critical constellation
4. “Aha!” moment of understanding
5. Introduction of a new resource

Conclusions for teachers I
• Physics meaning is distributed across resources.
• So there is a critical constellation of resources that
is needed.

Conclusions for teachers II
• Task must facilitate appropriate coordination.
• Need to carefully decide what the persistent
coordinating resource will be.
• Should look for introduction of new resources as
confirmation that learning is occurring.
