Investigating Student Understanding of Quantum Physics: Spontaneous Models of Conductivity.
Wittmann, Michael C.; Steinberg, Richard N.; Redish, Edward F.
American Journal of Physics, v70 n3 p218-26 Mar 2002
Investigates student reasoning about models of conduction. Reports that students often are unable to account for the existence of free electrons in a conductor and create models that lead to incorrect predictions and responses contradictory to expert descriptions of the physics involved.
