A Test of Piaget's Metric Proportionality Construct Using Ordering Theory

Rogers, Paul W.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 14, 6, 499-506, Nov 77

Four types of proportionality problems were administered to: (1) secondary school students who were enrolled in Project Physics, and (2) students not enrolled in physics. Both samples were randomly selected. Groups were not found to differ significantly in problem solving ability but both revealed that the ability to solve certain problems was prerequisite for higher order problems. (CP)
