Student understanding of fundamental concepts in kinematics has been explored using the phenomenographic research method. University and high school physics students were interviewed and their understandings of displacement, velocity, and frames of reference have been analyzed in particular problem contexts. Results: There is a need for teachers to focus on the nature of student understanding in specific contexts using questions that require qualitative explanation by students.
