Example text

The students read the text and, were asked to point out any difficulty which they might have found. Some groups of students did not notice any problem in the text. For example, a student in one of these groups, when asked to recall the text, wrote: Newton's Second Law: F = rna A force is applied, F = 0 Thus: ma= 0 This finally proves that the force exerted on a body equals its mass times the acceleration. F=ma Not identifying the top level relation in the text makes these students unaware of their lack of understanding.
