Australian Science Teachers' Journal, v46 n1 p9-13,15-18 Mar 2000
Describes the difficulties that high school and university students have in thinking about force, identifying forces, and drawing force diagrams. Finds that students using a computer tutoring program made limited progress in learning to construct free-body diagrams because of their alternative conceptions and faulty teaching methods. Offers suggestions for further research. (Contains 17 references.) (WRM/AUTHOR)
