Abstract
Learning progressions divide the logical system of a subject into ordered and continuously developing levels that are suitable for the cognitive development level of students, which plays an important role in understanding students’ learning process. This paper focuses on the theme of “kinetic energy” in high school physics as the research object. Firstly, the concept map was used to represent the relationship between knowledge, and then five core concepts were selected based on the opinions of high school teachers. Secondly, the test tools were compiled and tested based on the relevant test questions. Finally, the paper analyzed the results based on the Rasch model, clarified students’ cognitive development level of “kinetic energy” and constructed the learning progressions of “kinetic energy” based on the logical order of subject knowledge. The research provides theoretical and methodological support for the study of other subjects and learning progressions, and provides a valuable reference for high school teachers to effectively carry out the instruction of “kinetic energy.”
