A case in which canonically incorrect ideas do not hinder conceptual progress in introductory physics
Resources theory depicts resources as dynamic, context-dependent pieces of knowledge, and defines learning as building from students' resources. In this paper, we will use a classroom video example of students working through ACORN (Attending to Conceptual Resources in) Physics tutorials, resources-oriented instructional materials for introductory physics, to illustrate a learning sequence in which one group of students make progress towards a model for what makes a lightbulb light, even as they discuss ideas we consider canonically incorrect. This case serves as an existence proof that canonically incorrect ideas need not hinder conceptual progress, challenging historical models of misconceptions as obstacles to learning.
