Abstract

It is essential to know, comprehend, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the physical science (chemistry, earth science, physics, etc.) for the science and engineering students. The purpose of this study was to compare the tendency of the higher education technical vocational school and engineering students to physical science. The research was conducted with 166 students. Data were collected using Learning Strategy Survey (LSS). Cognitive/metacognitive strategies (CMS) and resource management strategies (RMS) of the students were compared with the help of this survey designed for chemistry courses. The results presented that the usage of learning strategies of the higher education technical vocational school and engineering students were similar in terms of chemistry. The students` thoughts revealed that the chemistry is not accepted as a key-course for their major field and they preferred to memorize the content of the course without any comprehension. The detailed findings and suggestions were reported in the study.
