| description | In the present paper, we propose a new diagnostic test to measure students' conceptual knowledge of principles of modern physics topics. Since born of physics education research (PER), many diagnostic instruments that measure students' conceptual understanding of various topics in physics have been developed. The earliest tests developed in PER are Force Concept Inventory (FCI, Newtonian concepts), Force & Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FCME), Electric Circuits Conceptual Evaluation (ECCE), and Test of Understanding Graphs - Kinematics (TUG-K). Although these tests were generated and tested on the fields, they were mainly interested on freshman physics courses. Maybe only diagnostic test developed beyond freshman was the one initially used by the researchers to investigate college students' understanding of quantum physics concepts but unfortunately, its source or history is not known. The main purpose of this study is to develop a new diagnostic test and analyze the initial results of the diagnostic test of Test of Understanding on Concepts of Modern Physics (TUCO-MP). |
