Khảo sát quan niệm sai lầm về chủ đề “Công, năng lượng và công suất” của học sinh Việt Nam với bài kiểm tra ba bậc

Tóm tắt

Many studies worldwide have identified students’ common misconceptions when learning the topics “Work, energy, and power”; however, no research has pinpointed the misconceptions of Vietnamese students. Therefore, to investigate the misconceptions of Vietnamese students, our research team utilized a three-tier test while teaching the topic “Work, Energy, and Power”, which is the Work, Energy, and Power Concept Test (WPECT), developed and validated by Turkish educational experts. The objectives of this study are (1) To assess the validity of the WPECT in evaluating the misconceptions of Vietnamese students regarding the topic of “Work, Energy, and Power” and (2) To examine the misconceptions of Vietnamese students through the test. The WPECT test was administered to 199 students from 10 schools. The results indicate that the WPECT test is suitable with Vietnamese students, and Vietnamese students still hold certain misconceptions even after learning this topic in class. From a solution-oriented perspective, the research findings suggest that students who have been taught with STEM approaches tend to have fewer misconceptions.
