Cognitive Assessment of Function Knowledge.
Karpp, Edward R.; Anderson, Norman H.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v34 n4 p359-76 Apr 1997
Compares two theories of assessing functional knowledge for intuitive physics using choice and functional measurement responses (N=40) in two situations. Reports that the choice theory showed substantial frequencies of stepwise rules while functional measurement showed that most subjects integrated the two variables. Concludes that functional measurement gives a more correct assessment of function knowledge. Contains 33 references. (Author/JRH)
