An Investigation into Students’ Understanding about the Concepts of Energy at Senior Secondary Level

Abstract

Present study entitled “An Investigation into Students‟ Understanding about the 
Concepts of Energy at Senior Secondary Level” was conducted on senior secondary students of 
a Government School. Students were divided into two groups namely, experimental and 
controlled to investigate their understanding about the concepts of energy. Analysis of the 
students‟ responses clearly revealed a significant difference between students‟ understanding of 
experimental and controlled groups about the concepts of energy. The same was attributed due 
to the constructivist approach of teaching learning.
