A quantitative study using a descriptive design was conducted to answer the research objectives. Data collection
was carried out using a paper-and-pencil test. The test was developed by the researcher, and consists of problems in
the forms of algorithms, conceptual problems and open-ended problems. Each item was checked by experts such as
classroom teachers and the lecturer for content-validity purposes. The test was divided into three sections, namely
algorithms, conceptual problems and open-ended problems. This research involved 248 college students (39 males,
209 females) enrolled in the Undergraduate Programme of M
athematics Education (minor in Chemistry) in
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Data was collected in semester II, 2011/2012. The test was administered to students
