E.?B. Merki; S.?I. Hofer; A. Vaterlaus; A. Lichtenberger – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
When describing motion in physics, the selection of a frame of reference is crucial. The graph of a moving object can look quite different based on the frame of reference. In recent years, various tests have been developed to assess the interpretation of kinematic graphs, but none of these tests have specifically addressed differences in reference…

Ivanjek, Lana; Morris, Louisa; Schubatzky, Thomas; Hopf, Martin; Burde, Jan-Philipp; Haagen-Schützenhöfer, Claudia; Dopatka, Liza; Spatz, Verena; Wilhelm, Thomas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This article reports the development of a two-tier simple electric circuits test (2T-SEC Test). Simple electric circuits are introduced to students early in their school years and are an important part of the physics curriculum all the way to the university level. However, many students do not develop an adequate conceptual understanding of simple…

Ramadhan, Syahrul; Sumiharsono, Rudy; Mardapi, Djemari; Prasetyo, Zuhdan Kun – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The analysis of the Test Instruments' quality is a crucial thing needs to be conducted. The test instruments made by teachers must fulfil the requirements (validity, reliability, and standard error of measurement) until the measurement result obtained can describe the students' actual abilities. This research aims to analyse the content validity…
