University student conceptual resources for understanding forces

Existing research identifying common student ideas about forces focuses on students’ misunderstandings, misconceptions, and difficulties. In this paper, we characterize student thinking in terms of resources, framing student thinking as continuous with formal physics. Based on our analysis of 2048 w...

Based on our analysis of 2048 written responses to conceptual questions, we identify six common conceptual resources for understanding forces.
