DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Motlalepula Rebecca Mhlongo (University of Limpopo)\
 nThe purpose of this study was to investigate the pre-knowledge of the Phy
 sics I students on vectors.  The study was conducted on 234 Physics I stud
 ents from the University of Limpopo (Medunsa campus).  The sample was divi
 ded into four groups\, where the first group (n = 119) did their grade 12 
 in 2010\, the second group (n = 46) did their grade 12 prior 2010\, the th
 ird group (n = 42) did Foundation Physics in 2010 and the fourth group (n 
 = 27) were those repeating Physics I. An ex post facto research design was
  chosen for the study whereby all the groups were given a vector test at t
 he beginning. The test was divided into three questions\, testing definiti
 ons\, classifications\, drawing and interpretations of graphs.  Results sh
 owed a less difference between average percentage of the groups whereby th
 e group before 2010 (47.4%)\, foundation group (47.3%)\, the repeaters (44
 .3%) and those who did grade 12 in 2010 (44.1%).\n\nhttps://events.saip.or
