Description
Summary:We report the preliminary findings on students' conceptual understanding of 'Work Done' within the Secondary One science syllabus in Singapore. We group our findings into two main categories, 'Students' Preconceptions' and 'Students' Understanding of Concepts'. This research surfaces key issues in the young students' learning journeys in science. Knowing these students' preconceptions and conceptual understanding of science concepts after instruction should assist science educators in developing pedagogical approaches and the preparation of lesson packages that will help students overcome their learning difficulties.
