The main aim of this study was to assess problem-solving performance in physics of grade 9th students. A test of reasoning was administered to a sample of 578 students. To solve the critical issues, and the general functions of physical education. The Teachers are used to solve the problems associated with the introduction of new physics, the principles, the integration of the related physical concepts related to the application of knowledge in new situations, and the assessment of students' understanding of the new physics knowledge.
