Abstract | In this proceeding we discuss the initial stages of how using ‘dominant misconceptions’, as derived from the pre-test part of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) assessment tool, can give informative data on how to proceed with teaching practices on a classical mechanics course, as taught in the Physics Department of the University of Johannesburg (UJ). We also briefly discuss some language correlations between high school matriculation marks and FCI scores, and how this may prepare faculty members when considering their teaching andragogy. In conclusion, the academic and language backgrounds of students enrolled on classical mechanics courses at UJ can have an impact on pre-test ability. |
