Development of concept essential in kinematic topics

Abstract

Essential concepts were important aspects in physics education, especially in the study of learning development, student evaluation, and curriculum planning. Several types of concept analysis models are commonly applied in the context of physics, i.e. sematic network techniques, concept formation (concept analysis), concept maps, and representing substantive structure. The stages of essential concept development were concept analysis, concept map and essential concept. The research method used development research. The stages of development research included (1) the preliminary study phase, (2) the development study phase, (3) the evaluation phase. The main results of this study were essential concepts on the topic of Kinematics.
