Abstract

The science and engineering students are expected to know the basic quantities and to distinguish the derived quantities regardless of their majors. The symbols and units are important to be understood, interpreted, and correlated in natural science. The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance given to the symbols and units by students. The research was conducted with 220 students. Data were collected using an evaluation form designed for examining the students’ knowledge about the some symbols and units. The students were asked twelve fundamental quantities. The descriptive statistical analyses of the research data were performed. The results of the research indicated that the students ignored the symbols and units. Detailed results and recommendations based on the findings of the research are presented in the research.
