Research sample are consists of 30 respondents from the final semester sciences students majoring in physics. There are 21 female respondents and nine male respondents from the Malay, Chinese and Bumiputera Sabah races. Force Concept Inventory (FCI) was used as research instrument which consist of background information of respondents and 30 questions that relates to Force and Motion with five alternative answers.
