Description
Vector analysis is an essential concept that connects both theoretical and practical fields. However, its meaning and use can differ depending on the teaching methods and focus of each discipline. This study aims to explore the perception and understanding of vector analysis among PhD in Education students. The data was collected through online survey from 38 students enrolled in Mathematical Methods in Physics course. Results reveal the notable differences in their understanding of vector analysis. Identifying the gaps in their knowledge can inform professional development programs aimed at enhancing teacher’s understanding of cross-disciplinary concepts.
