: Note: Students were given the understanding of current divider rules in series, parallel networks. This problem is the application of these concepts and their inter-relationship. Students had not seen a similar problem before.Data Collection: The class survey was tested for reliability and validity before it was used fordata collection. The items were reviewed several times by the researchers and the departmentfaculty for their structure, simplicity and intended meaning. It was then pilot tested on five upperlevel graduate students.
