Description
Although existing studies reported the promising results from students-constructed stop-motion animation (SMA) in supporting mechanistic reasoning (MR), these studies lacked theoretical perspectives underlying the results. To fill the need, our study developed a cognitive framework linking the nature of SMA construction (chunking and sequencing) and elements of MR. This framework was utilized to analyze the data from an exploratory case study involving five secondary school students constructing and using a SMA model to explain electrostatics phenomena. The results show that all students addressed the central elements of MR, i.e., entities and activities of entities, when engaging in chunking and sequencing.
