For the past three decades, research in students' conceptions, knowledge structure and representations, mental models, and conceptual change processes have been discussed and debated in many studies. This presentation intends to discuss the importance of research in science education and instruction in schools that contribute to our understanding about the enterprise of learning and teaching for conceptual change in science and then introduce a framework entitled "Research And InstructioN- Based/Oriented Work (RAINBOW)" that summarizes what my research lab has been working on in science learning.
