Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the understanding of basic principles of physics attained by students who were taught by the use of PSSC materials as compared to students who were taught by the use of conventional high school physics materials. The Cooperative Science Test in Physics was used to measure understanding of the basic principles of physics. The null hypothesis, there is no significant difference between the scores on the Cooperative Science Test in Physics earned by students who have had a one semester course in PSSC physics and the scores earned by students who have had a one semester course in traditional physics, was used. The study covered the period from the beginning of the 1967-68 school year to the end of the first semester.
