An investigation on student's conceptual understanding of newton's third law - force in equilibrium and attitudes in physics using EquiForce Kit with STAD cooperative learning

The purposes of present study were to (I) investigate the effects of incorporating a manipulative material - 'EquiForce Kit' (EFK) in a Student Team-Achievement Division (STAD) classroom; and to (ii) examine students' attitudes toward Physics using EFK. A total of 77 students who t...
