本文关注理解世界的解释和构成要素，这两者都与力的概念有关。在一些研究中，学生们的概念是用“力”这个词来表述的，而没有进一步的澄清，这受到了批评。从这些报告中既不能得出学生们相信什么，也不能得出他们的信仰与科学有什么关系。相反，使用“武力”的理由或标准需要明确。这些原因涉及武力产生的影响，即偏离无影响状态；它们还涉及它们的来源，正如法律中明确规定的那样，对于特定情况，可以从法律中推导出在其中起作用的力量。因此，力的一般概念与指定(1)无影响状态和(2)力定律以解释偏离这些状态的两层解释策略相关联，是理解世界的构成要素。在这种解释策略的约束下，力的概念仍然可以在日常和科学解释中得到不同的应用。这些不同应用程序之间的差异部分取决于不同的解释兴趣
This paper concerns interpretation and constitutive elements of understanding the world, both of which are treated in relation to the concept of force. Studies are criticized in which students’ conceptions are formulated, without further clarification, in terms of the word ‘force’. From such reports it can neither be concluded what students believe nor how their beliefs relate to science. Instead, reasons or criteria for applying ‘force’ need to be made explicit. Those reasons concern the effects that forces produce, namely deviations from an influence-free state; they also concern their sources, as made explicit in laws from which, for a given situation, the forces acting in it can be derived. The general concept of force, thus associated with the two-tier explanatory strategy of specifying (1) influence-free states and (2) force laws to account for deviations from those states, is a constitutive element of understanding the world. Within the constraints set by this explanatory strategy, the concept of force can still be variously applied, both in everyday and in scientific explanations. The differences between these various applications are partly anchored in distinct explanatory interest
