fostered a significant conceptual change in relevant physics content areas.It must be pointed out that nearly all exiting physics education efforts (such as the publishedliterature 7-12) focus on improving students’ understanding of individual concepts, but notconcept pairs. A concept pair is a pair of physics concepts that are fundamentally different butclosely related. For example, linear acceleration and angular acceleration is a concept pair.Linear acceleration, in the units of m/s2, is used to quantify the change of linear velocity (m/s)with time. Angular acceleration, in the units of rad/s2, is used to quantify the change of angularvelocity (rad/s) with time. There exists a quantitative mathematical relationship between linear(tangential

This contrast heralds that students do notunderstand the importance of, and requirements for, taking rigorous mathematics and sciencecourses in high school, pointing to the importance of encouraging exploration of a wide array ofcareer trajectories so that students do not inadvertently build roadblocks to certaincareers(Rudasill & Callahan, 2010; White Paper prepared for U.

The framework was used extensivelywhen structuring assessment, both on program assessment and classroom assessment.

guided discovery approach posits that any subject can be taught effectively in someintellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development. A constructivist approach tolearning and teaching is based on the notion that learners construct their own knowledge ratherthan knowledge being transferred into learners‟ brains.8-10 Learners‟ construction of knowledgeis based on their past knowledge, the timeliness of new knowledge, and the learner‟s ability tounderstand the connections. This process forces learners to either modify existing knowledge ordevelop new knowledge. Learning experiences based on constructivism are reflected in popularinstructional strategies such as inquiry based learning11-12, problem based learning (PBL) 13-14
