1. The document discusses analyzing data from 2000 student responses to the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), which is a 30-question multiple choice assessment of conceptual understanding of force. 2. Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze the data and identify latent concepts represented in the FCI. Five factors were identified that group the questions according to conceptual themes related to Newton's laws of motion. 3. Preliminary item response analysis found that questions relating to Newton's third law had significantly higher difficulty than other questions. Some students got third law questions correct but questions relating to the first and second laws incorrect, indicating anomalous results.
