Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE)

The Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) is a test used to assess how well students understand basic principles of physics, specifically related to forces and motion. It presents scenarios and questions that explore common ideas and misconceptions about how objects move and why they behave that way. The goal is to identify students’ intuitive ideas versus scientifically accepted concepts, helping instructors improve teaching and students’ understanding of fundamental physics principles.
