Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie ein geeignetes Lehr-Lernarrangement aufgebaut sein sollte, um tragfähige Begriffsbildungsprozesse zu initiieren. Entstanden ist zum einen ein tiefgehendes Verständnis der stattfindenden Lernprozesse und deren inhaltlicher Strukturierung, wobei der Prozentstreifen als Anschauungsmittel eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Zum anderen zeigt sich ein klares Bild, das den Zusammenhang zwischen der Art des Wachstumsfaktors und des Änderungsverhaltens beschreibt und dabei potentielle Hürden sowie förderliche Prozesse identifiziert.
