Ranking task (RT) exercises in physics, translated into Japanese, were introduced to improve Japanese students’ conceptual understanding of introductory mechanics. The Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) was used to measure these students’ conceptual understanding of mechanical concepts. RT exercises in physics were introduced for the following two reasons: (1) to give Japanese students, who are typically shy and have little experience participating in debates in physics class, the tools to encourage peer communication; and (2) to improve Japanese students’ conceptual understanding by asking them to provide a written explanation of their reasoning. These students were divided into 13 groups, consisting of 4 to 5 students. Each group included 1 student who had performed well on the FMCE pretest. The RT exercises were assigned as homework to each group, whose members were expected to work on the assignment together to submit a consensus with an emphasis on reasoning. A gain on the FMCE showed a little improvement over the whole class; however, some students showed remarkable improvement.
