9th grade students’ understanding and strategies when solving x(t) problems in 1D kinematics and y(x) problems in mathematics

We design, validate, and administer a 24-item test to study student understanding of linear functions in 1D kinematics [x(t)] and mathematics [y(x)] in the 9th grade. The items assess identification and comparison of initial position and velocity in 1D kinematics and of the y intercept and slope in...
