Cognitive expectations are beliefs about the learning process and the structure of knowledge.  \nUsing the Maryland Physics Expectations (MPEX) survey, the students’ responses reflected the highest level of agreement with the‘experts’ response’ in the following clusters: independence, math link, reality link, and effort link. The study has shown that students could move from a novice-like view of Physics and learning Physics to a  \nmore expert-like view.  \nKey words: cognitive expectations, physics education research, beliefs about Physics  \nIntroduction  \nScience and technology plays a vital role in modern societies. The past decades have shown us what ascientifically- and technologically-educated population can contribute to a nation’s economic and social development. Wright (1999, p.15) asserts that “it is now widely acknowledged that science and technology exerts a profound influence on such diverse areas as our interaction with the physical world; patterns of production and distribution of goods and services; the socio-economic lifestyle of communities; and even the value systems of some nations”. An understanding of science and technology can be regarded  \nVoltaire Mallari Mistades, Physics Department De La Salle University–Manila, Philippines.  \nThe research was supported by funding from the University Research Coordination Office of De La Salle University – Manila.

The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)  \nhas recognized the importance of promoting science and technology in the region. The UNESCO Science Report (2005) notes that countries in South East Asia have targeted four universal fields: information technology, microelectronics, new materials, and biotechnology. All four fields are generally regarded as being important in the 21st century. The ASEAN member-countries have realized that they must invest in research and development in these fields in order to acquire the technological capability to make use of advancesin the same fields developed in other countries.  \nThe goal for the coming decades, as encapsulated by the ASEAN Vision 2020, is of “a technologically competitive ASEAN, competent in strategic and enabling technologies, with an adequate pool of technologically-qualified and trained manpower, and developing strong networks between science and technology institutions and centers of excellence”(UNESCO, 2005, p.233) . To achieve this goal, the following is the challenge posed to science educators: “We need to help all our young people to be ready to engage with complex scientific and technological issues, some of which may not even be on the scientific agenda, and to make decisions about  \nExploring Business Students’ and Liberal Arts Students’ Beliefs about Physics and Physics Learning  \ntheir use which pay due heed to their local culture.
