The purpose of this study is to analyze the students' conceptions about force and motion of senior high school students after study the course of Physics and to investigate how students' misconceptions about action - reaction are changed through individual interview with students. To do this, for 1st questionnaire, 100 students were selected from the 3rd year students in senior high school in Choong-ju city and tested. For 2nd questionnaire, 10 students with misconceptions about action - reaction of them were selected and tested again. As the results of this study, nine of ten students were changed their misconception about action - reaction after individual interview. In the base of this study, the concept of 'Force and Motion' in Natural Science of the junior high school course are associated with those in Integrated Science and Physics of the senior high school course, but many students in the senior high school don't understand the correct scientific concept. Most of students will be moved up to the next school year with many wrong concepts.
