摘要：
A quantification of conceptual understanding of students in statics was undertaken. Drawing on a prior study identifying the fundamental concepts and typical student errors in statics, multiple choice questions were devised to probe students' ability to use concepts in isolation. This paper describes a testing instrument comprising such questions, as well as psychometric analyses of test results of 245 students at five universities.
