Journal of Research in Science Teaching
written by Ian S. Ginns and James J. Watters
This research examines 321 preservice elementary teachers in a study designed to investigate their intuitive scientific ideas and understandings. Results reveal that the majority of subjects, with the exception of a high proportion of those who has a successful high school background in physics and chemistry, have misunderstandings regarding some physical science concepts.
