Conceptual Versus Nonconceptual Questions in the Grading of Physics Students.
Hellman, Walter
Physics Teacher, v27 n5 p383-86 May 1989
The grading of high school physics students as a function of conceptual versus nonconceptual performance is investigated. The nonconceptual means a routine substitution in equations or direct recall. Students scoring highest on one type of question are far from distinguished on another type of question. (YP)
