Abstract
Essential concepts were important aspects in physics education, especially in the study of learning development, student evaluation, and curriculum planning. Several types of concept analysis models were commonly applied in the context of physics, namely semantic network techniques, concept formation (concept analysis), concept maps, and representing substantive structure. The stages of essential concept development were a concept analysis, concept map and essential concept construction. The research method used development research. The stages of development research include (1) the preliminary study phase, (2) the development study phase, (3) the evaluation phase. The main results of this study were essential concept on the topic of Kinematics.
