This study aims to identify factors of student difficulties and analyze student difficulties in understanding the concept of kinematics in working on odd semester midterm exam questions in the 2023/2024 academic year Basic Physics 1 subject kinematics. This research was conducted at the Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. This research is a descriptive research. The research population was all Industrial Engineering students who took Basic Physics 1 course totaling 78 students. This research is a descriptive type of research. The research population is all Industrial Engineering students who take Basic Physics 1 courses totaling 78 students. The results showed that students' difficulties in understanding the concept of kinematics were categorized into 3 (three) factors, namely concepts (84%), procedures (47%), and mathematical calculations (67%). Students' ability to understand the concept of kinematics still tends to be low, this is indicated by the average score obtained by students only reaching 28.55 with a standard deviation of 10.53.
