Emanovský P., and Gonda D. "Mathematical Calculations Within Physics Lessons and Their Popularity Among Learners." Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science 13, no. 4 (2020): 204-211. http://dx.doi.org/10.7160/eriesj.2020.130404

Summary:  The authors conducted research on learners' attitudes towards using mathematical calculations within physics lessons. The data analysis data shows slightly negative learners' attitude to mathematical calculations and some particular differences between grades and genders.
