Description
Algebra has a special and fundamental feature in the teaching of kinematics. The study was conducted with high school teachers teaching physical science from different types of schools and with different backgrounds. An open-ended questionnaire was distributed to them, and they voluntarily participated in the study. The study investigated their perceptions of their pedagogy of teaching kinematics and whether their learners are able to use their prior knowledge of algebra to solve kinematics graphs. The teachers were adamant that the majority of their learners are unable to use prior knowledge of and skills learned in algebra to solve kinematics problems.
