Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the physics education concepts through solving unit review problems in free fall topic. This research is a quantitative descriptive study involving 19 students of Physics Education at the University of Tamansiswa. The test instrument consists of 2 essay questions that refer to problem-solving indicators. The results of the study obtained several findings. Analysis of understanding the concepts of physics education students through solving unit review problems in free fall topic had the highest percentage in the medium category. On the problem solving indicators Physics Approach, Specific Application of Physics, and Logical Progression students’ abilities are in the low category.
