힘과 운동에 관한 실업계 고등학생들의 개념 연구

Abstract

In this study, 375 high school girls and boys (193 technical high school students and 182 human high school students) in Busan as the subject of this study were examined by questions papers to see students' Conception about Force and Motion in the technical high school. The results of this study are as follows. 1)The proportion of the correct answers of the technical high school students are lower than that of the human high school students. 2)The difference of the number of the correct answer of the technical high school students is slight, whereas that of the human high school students is wide. In general, students were inclined to believe that Force of Action and Reaction between two objects would work more strongly in proportion to mass and speed of objects and that objects moving actively rather than passively would be affected by more force. Also, students tended to believe that Gravitational Force acting on falling objects increases in proportion as objects were falling down fast and that Gravitational Force doesn't act in the airless place. In conclusion, to teach technical high school students' Conception of Force and Motion rightly, it is thought that teachers should instruct students seriously about students' misconceptions that are not corrected easily through the production of teaching materials for special use and the improvement of teaching methods.
