Diagrams and Graphs in Physics: Students’ Cognizance Problems
Abstract
This study aims at the investigation of student’s problems in understandings diagrams and graphs in the high schools of district Mardan. Objectives of the study were to assess students’ attitudes towards diagram and graphs, to find difficulties in understandings diagrams and graphs, to find the nature of difficulties in students physics work and to investigate reasons about complexity of graph and diagrams. Research design is qualitative in nature. Qualitative method was used to understand participant experience with error analysis. The study was conducted in district Mardan. Random sampling techniques were used to collect qualitative data. Participant of the study was 240 students of grade 9th from four selected schools in which two schools were selected from public sector and two from private sector. 60 students were selected from each school.
