Effects of common psychometric symptoms in the process of learning: implementation in newtonian physics
Abstract
Depression may essentially influence cognitive function contributing to a reduced performance at school. We try to determine whether depression or other mental conditions may correlate especially with the efficacy of school learning regarding Newtonian Physics. We recruited a total of 490 students (262 girls, 228 boys) attending the first semester of the 2nd Grade of General Lyceum School. Forced Concept Inventory was used to test deeper understanding of Newtonian Physics. General mental status was assessed by Symptom Checklist-90-R. Students were tested in their classroom, during a 1-hour session of their instruction in Physics. Mental conditions had a negative correlation with FCI score. The greatest difference was observed for depression. The score in all nine symptoms scales of SCL-90 was higher in girls. When the significant effect of depression was taken into account, gender did not seem to have a significant effect on FCI score. Understanding of Newtonian Physics among high scho ...
