[6] Most studies have focused on the presence ofmisconceptions formed by common sense observations of the world by elementary andsecondary school children. However, work we have reported previously based on interviewswith engineering students indicates that these misconceptions are carried forward into collegeand that some of our best students (as measured by grade point average) still possess significantheat transfer misconceptions when they graduate.
