This is the first part of a broader study, exploring the contextual variations of the responses of
\n149 first year (non-physics major) university students at two South African universities in Cape
\nTown. The data analysis was done in terms of the (i) forced choice responses (FCR), (ii) free
\nwritten responses and (iii) personal interviews. This paper presents the development of the
\ninstrument (aspects of circuits questionnaire, or ACQ) used in the exploratory study and the results
\nobtained from the FCR analysis of 60 students. The results showed that the student responses are
\ntriggered by the context framed by the questions and the results obtained from investigations using
\nlight bulbs cannot be generalised and may be reinterpreted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
