In a telephone survey of more than 2,000 adults, 21% said they believed the sun revolved(旋轉(zhuǎn)) around the earth. An    71    7% did not know which revolved around    72   . I have no doubt that    73    all of these people were    74    in school that the earth revolves around the sun;   75    may even have written it    76    a test. But they never    77    their incorrect mental models of planetary  (行星的)   78    because their everyday observations didn’t support    79    their teachers told them: People see the sun “moving”   80    the sky as morning turns to night, and the earth seems stationary(靜止的)   81   that is happening.

Students can learn the right answers     82   heart in class, and yet never combined them    83    their working models of the world. The objectively correct answer the professor accepts and the    84    personal understanding of the world can    85    side by side, each unaffected by the other.

Outside of class, the student continues to use the    86    model because it has always worked well    87   that circumstance. Unless professors address   88    errors in students’ personal models of the world, students are not    89    to replace them with the    90    one.
