Direct linkBryce, T. G. K.; MacMillan, K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
Researchers and practitioners alike express concerns about the conceptual difficulties associated with the concepts of momentum and kinetic energy currently taught in school physics. This article presents an in-depth analysis of the treatment given to them in 44 published textbooks written for UK secondary school certificate courses. This is set…

Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton; Martin, Ernesto; Zamarro, Jose-Miguel; Esquembre, Francisco; Swaak, Janine; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Discusses a case study on discovery learning with a computer simulation environment in the physics domain of collisions. Finds that providing assignments with the simulation improves students' performance on one aspect of an intuitive-knowledge test. Contains 43 references. (Author/WRM)

Peer reviewedEckstein, Shulamith G.; Shemesh, Michal – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
A study (n=631) of children's ideas on motion of objects is reported. On three items of a four-part questionnaire, responses changed as the children matured, passing through distinct, successive stages with respect to their conceptual understanding. If teaching strategies to overcome misconceptions are to be effective, they must be appropriate to…
