The purpose of this study is to survey the relation between first-year science students' conceptual understanding of electrostatics and their fields of interest. The samples were 182 first-year... science students from a university in Thailand and were attending a general physics course in the second semester of academic year 2010. All science students enrolled the same courses in the first year including general science and non-science subjectsPublication Metadata only Student effort expectations and their learning in first-year introductory physics: A case study in Thailand(2011-06-24) U.
