As a reliable and valid instrument for measuring Astro 101 student understanding of gravity, the NGCI can join the
suite of Astro 101 concept inventories as a valuable instructional resource and research tool. To follow up on the
results presented in this paper, we plan to use the NGCI to comment on instructional practices and student
performance. In particular, we want to use the pre- and post-test data and demographic information from Tables 2
and 3 to explore NGCI gains and to tease apart the differences between students. We also hope to implement an
Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis to expand our knowledge of NGCI item functionality and understanding of
student ability along the construct of Newtonian gravity. Furthermore, we believe the NGCI is a useful instrument
beyond the typical Astro 101 course, and we plan on measuring differences between college astronomy students
and those in the typical introductory college physics courses. In the long-term, multi-institutional pre- and posttesting
with the NGCI in many more classes can help to establish national norms on student understanding of
Newtonian gravity. This data could also be used to analyze the effectiveness of traditional lecture compared to
interactive engagement to build on the work of Prather et al. (2008) and to explore instructional strategies designed
to focus on the known student na€ıve ideas and reasoning difficulties. This future research has the potential to
significantly expand our knowledge of the preconceptions that college students bring to the classroom, and it can
motivate a discussion of how Newtonian gravity should be taught so as to maximize learning.
