| Sumario: | Newton laws of motion is a very important and fundamental topic taught at
secondary and higher secondary level as they have easily visible applications in
the daily lives of students.Present study is an attempt to assess higher secondary
students’ understanding of newton laws of motion by using a two-tier physics
concept achievement test (PCAT). The sample consists of 480 XI th grade
studentsfrom selected schools of Haldwani city in Uttarakhand. The finding of
the study shows that students have an average level of concept achievement in
newton laws of motion. Present study also reveals that gender differences do
exist in concept achievement of newton laws of motion, with boys outperforming
girls in PCAT. |
