Description

Most first year mainstream physics students of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of the Western Cape generally have difficulty solving problems about Kinematics position and displacement concepts. After the COVID -19 the problems seem to have gotten worse. This paper aims to tell the student's conception of the position and displacement in physics learning. The students' conceptions were derived from test results. The tests and findings will be presented and discussed in this paper.
