“…Igualmente se observan dos círculos para Argentina (Mercado, [25]), uno corresponde a metodología tradicional y otro con el promedio 51,0% de Post-test FCI a metodología experimental que alcanzaron los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Nacional de San Luis de Argentina [25]. La metodología experimental aplicada en esta universidad fue nombrada IDEA (Beichner,[26]) y consiste en los siguientes pasos: Informarse / Desarrollar un Plan / Ejecutar el plan / Aprender de sus esfuerzos.…”

Abstract-The low understanding of these issues hinders the students' performance in mechanics university's courses as well in subsequent courses that require the use of such fundamental concepts. Using information from various investigations in Latin America, USA and Spain in university environments in which the test Force Concept Inventory for assessment of understanding of the basic concepts of Newtonian mechanics were used. This article offers to Latin American educator's community, its own theoretical framework to evaluate the efficiency of the methodology used in Physics teaching -learning process and to make comparisons between different teaching methodologies, enabling the curricula improvement and assessment of the needs of curricular changes. This theoretical framework based on research conducted in Latin America university environments. On these researches the Force Concept Inventory test were used, which allows not only knowing the scores achieved by students in pre-test and post-test but the course teaching efficiency.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physics student-teachers misconceptions in force and motion concepts in Jordanian universities by using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) test and to identify the cause of misconceptions related to these concepts. Also, the FCI has been used to detect whether misconceptions vary according to gender, the geographical place of the university in Jordan, and students' attitudes towards physics as a major. The study was conducted on (97) student-teachers attending to the different universities in Jordan. Data were analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA test. The results of the study indicated that physics student-teachers grasp high misconceptions about the impetus and active force. 20% of the students correctly answered the questions related to Newton's third law. In addition, the differences among the studied universities were not statistically significant in the FCI test (F = 1.311 and p = 0.247). Based on the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC), there was no correlation between the GPA of the students at high school and their performance in the FCI test, whereas a significant correlation was found between the GPA of the students at university and their performance on the test. The results also demonstrated that the performance of the students on the test did not reflect significant differences in their major attitude as well as their gender at any University in Jordan. Thus, this study could be initiated with the aim of probing the Jordanian Universities attitudes towards learning Physics and their conceptual understanding of the Newtonian force concept in Physics.
