A Didactically Based Approach to the Presentation of Practical Work in First-Year Physics Courses.
Lemmer, M.; And Others
South African Journal of Higher Education, v10 n1 p147-54 1996
A study found first-year physics students at the University of Namibia (UNAM), considered to be a select group of students, to be as prepared for laboratory work as Australian tenth-graders. Comparison with students of Potchefstroom University (South Africa) found UNAM students deficient in both cognitive and affective aspects of laboratory work. Motivational work to improve the situation shows promise. (Author/MSE)
