Physics Education
written by Promise Okpala and Charles Onocha
Reports on a study which sought to isolate physics topics perceived to be difficult and examine whether students' interest in mathematics had any significant relationship with the perceived difficulty. Concluded that students perceived more difficulty in mechanics, and a significant relationship existed between active interest in mathematics and perceived difficulty.
