Peer reviewedBoeha, Beno B. – Physics Education, 1990
Described are the results of interviews of students regarding the concepts of "forced" and "natural" motion. Aristolean-like beliefs have been found to persist in students even though these views differ from orthodox physics views. (KR)

Peer reviewedWatts, D. M.; Zylbersztajn, A. – Physics Education, 1981
Describes a study which determined the prevalence of the non-Newtonian view among students (N=125) and to what extent their physics teachers (N=5) were aware of this prevalence. Includes methods used and summaries of typical responses to a paper-pencil, multiple-choice format questionnaire focusing on aspects related to force. (JN)
