Aslo it was to study students' achievement on Mechanics Recitation test. The qualitative and quantitative research approach were used to collect the data in the fall semester of 2014 at University of North Texas, USA. Both decriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyz the quantitative data. Meanwhile, qualitative data were collected by classroom observation and interview protocol.
