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. In addition, results indicate that students who are successful in math and problem-solving can mask inadequate understanding of basic concepts that hinders learning in later years of study.
