Por último, se discuten los principales problemas de esta área de investigación. Es decir; lo concerniente a la comprensión y aprendizaje de los conceptos, tiempo y casualidad histórica y al rektivismo cognitivo. Las implicaciones instruccionales de este tipo de investigaciones son discutidas en relación con algunos de los más importantes problemas epistemológicos de la Historia en la actualidad.

One of the core statements of this view is the necessity of connecting students' prior knowledge with the new contents to be taught. Based on this idea, research on conceptual change explored students' prior conceptions overall about scientific phenomena, and instructional strategies were developed to promote conceptual change. One of the most common conceptual change instructional strategies implemented in the classroom was to induce cognitive conflict through presenting anomalous data or contradictory information. First, the paper presents a review of the conceptual change theoretical frameworks that support this strategy. Second, a review of the controversial results obtained in the application of the cognitive conflict strategy in the classroom is presented. Third, a discussion of the possible factors that may explain the difficulties to implement this strategy is introduced. Three kinds of problems may explain these difficulties. The first kind of problem is related to the question about how to make the cognitive conflict meaningful for students. Motivational factors, epistemological beliefs, prior knowledge, values and attitudes, learning strategies and cognitive engagement, and reasoning strategies, as well as social factors, seem to be relevant to lead students to a meaningful conflict. The second kind of problem is linked to more general theoretical and methodological aspects that research on conceptual change still has to solve. Finally, a third group of practical problems related to the implementation of the cognitive conflict strategy in real school settings is presented.

Kraus et al. (2010) studied if touch increases both individual and group performance registering the touch behavior of NBA players. Here, instead of focusing on players’ performance, we focused on team cohesion. Given that touch is often used as a way to communicate support and trust, we explored if the number of touches among team-mates may be a reliable and useful indicator of team cohesion. A second aim of this study was to explore how variables such as gender, age and expertise in playing basketball might influence players’ tactile communication and team cohesion. 6 basketball teams (n=96, 14-18 years old) with different level of expertise participated in the study that was conducted during the final four competitions of Madrid championship. All teams filled several cohesion questionnaires (GEQ, AS...

But, do amateur basketball players read accurately their opponents' score-related nonverbal behavior? 90 players (n=42, 11-14 years-old; n=48, 17-21 years-old) were presented two series of 27 video clips (counterbalanced presentation). One presented professional players whereas the other one showed amateur players of similar age than ours. Each participant watched 54 video clips. Nine of the 27 video clips of each series showed the opponent team leading (>15 points, leading clips), another 9 showed the opponent team trailing ( Acknowledgments: This study was performed thanks to grant DEP2011-27282 (Designing Multimedia Tools for Learning and Teaching Sports in curricular and non-curricular Contexts) awarded to the first author by MINECO (Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Na...

Participants were 180 individuals (16-18 years old, 90 male, 90 female) distributed in three groups: amateur soccer players (n=60), amateur basketball players (n=60) and not sportsmen (n=60, participants that did not practice sports regularly). A questionnaire presenting 18 common unsporting situations in a soccer game was developed. The unsporting behavior was initiated by a member of the local team/supporter in half of the situations, and in the other half by a member of the rival team. Participants were told these situations occurred in a regular amateur soccer game. Participants judged (Likert scale, 1-5) to what extent they considered each situation as an example of a violent behavior. The second part of the questionnaire introduced the same situations, but both protagonists and victims of the unsporting behavior were well known soccer players of Real Madrid,...

Frente a estos dos enfoques los autores proponen una alternativa intermedia basada en el concepto de «teorias implicitas». Estas teorias serian teorias personales que, como las teorias cientificas, sirven para organizar y predecir el mundo circundante. No obstante, presentan tambien caracteristicas muy diferentes de las teorias cientificas tanto en lo referente a su contenido como a su organizacion. Estas diferentes caracteristicas tienen, como se expone en el articulo, importantes consecuencias tanto para la investigacion como para la practica educativa.

Even though the construct is clearer and relevant data are being collected, there are important theoretical and methodological issues that need further clarification. One of them is the debate about the domain generality-specificity of epistemological beliefs. I argue that there are both theoretical and methodological difficulties that hinder a more fruitful approach of the domain generality-specificity debate. Differences in goals and scope of the diverse conceptualizations about epistemological beliefs and how they devise the role of content-domain and context are a major source of difficulties. Methodological problems such as whether such epistemological beliefs can be measured ''in isolation''-free of content and context influence-or the impossibility of collecting direct measures of epistemological beliefs may influence how the domain generality-specificity question is approached. Some suggestions about how these difficulties may be overcome are developed. The relevance of exploring epistemological beliefs across domains and across contexts is emphasized.

In order to answer this question, we must examine the peculiarities of history and history teaching and their possible implications for conceptual change. The chapter is divided
