Education Metaphors We Live By
written by
Rachel E. Scherr and
Paula R. L. Heron
Metaphor is a means by which we use our literal physical and social experiences (such as containers and conflicts) to understand other, more abstract experiences (such as knowledge and teaching). Metaphors may shape our perceptions and our behavior without our necessarily noticing them, becoming "metaphors we live by" [1]. Influential papers in physics education research use metaphors that have likely shaped thinking in physics education research. Examples of such metaphors include learning is movement, learning is building, teaching is a battle, a class is an amplifier, the mind is a computer, and the mind is a factory.
