A Causal Model of Students' Achievement in a College Physics Course.
Champagne, Audrey B.; Klopfer, Leopold E.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n4 p299-309 Apr 1982
To explain college students' (N=110) achievement in mechanics, a causal model consisting of three constructs (Newtonian physics, mathematics ability, and science experience) was proposed. Implications for physics instruction are discussed based on results indicating plausibility of the model. (Author/SK)
