Why is it important?
Findings indicated that cognitive characteristics including science achievement and physics course grades explained the largest amount of variance (60.6%) in the achievement by itself. Physics interest and physics motivation as well as gender and perception of teacher‐directed activities also explained a small amount of variance in student achievement.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure. This study makes significant contributions to physic education research area and also lead to researchers to a greater involvement in physics education research.
