碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 物理學系 === 105 === This study was designed to investigate cognitive differences in collision concepts among high school seniors of different genders and groups. The researcher used the self-editing assessment about“The collision concept cognition”to test two high school students in Kaohsiung . After that, the researcher analyzed the consequence and done the statistic of the examination as well. The number of sample amounted 358 people. Aside from analyzing the entire high school seniors' cognition level of collision concept, this article also compared the differences between both genders and groups of students, as well as probed into the reasons behind. According to the indication of the statistic：(i) At the significant level of 0.05 , there was no difference of collision concept comprehension between high school freshmen who intend to nature science group and ones who intend to social science group, however, seniors in nature science group were superior to ones in social science group. The reasons were due to the difference of teaching hours and attitudes in study. (ii) At the significant level of 0.05, although the cognition level of collision concept of the boys in nature science group were superior to that of the girls in nature science group on a whole, different attributes of questions allowed brains of both genders to demonstrate their respective advantages. In part one of the assessment（basic collision concept and simple digital computation）, boys overmatched girls in correct-answer rate in that boys have better understandings toward physical images. In part two（head on elastic collision and complex code number computation）, boys no longer did in that this time, girls demonstrated more carefulness and patience.
