Resumo
Previous studies have tried to explain or predict conservation skills in terms of 'schooled' or 'unschooled.' In this study, an intervention in some schools in the Ciskei, South Africa, is described and its effect on conservation skills is investigated. The results suggest that the acquisition of conservation skills may depend more on factors such as physical and mental interaction with the environment, and the type of reasoning to which a child is exposed, than on schooled and unschooled categories.
