Description

As part of a broader project on students understanding of Newtonian mechanics, a new test-instrument on two-dimensional motion with 36 items has been developed. The instrument probes students understanding on speed, velocity, change of velocity, the relationship between force and motion and the 3rd Newton Law. The test is administered to 140 lower secondary school students aged 12-14 in Austria. Data analyses is done with the WINSTEPS software for Rasch analysis. Test development process and results will be presented on the poster.
