Characterization of time scale for detecting impacts of reforms in an undergraduate physics program
written by
Eleanor W. Close, Jean-Michel Mailloux-Huberdeau, Hunter G. Close, and David Donnelly
Over the past five years, we in the physics department at Texas State University have reformed our calculus-based introductory sequence by implementing a Learning Assistant program, introducing research-based instructional methods, and increasing faculty professional development and instructional mentoring. Students in all sections of these courses now spend a significant portion of class time in small groups, often working through materials from the curricular supplement "Tutorials in Introductory Physics." Over this time, students' normalized gains on the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) have increased dramatically and the DFW rate (the percentage of students receiving a grade of D or F, or Withdrawing from the course) has been cut in half. In addition, we have seen that FCI gains for individual faculty increase gradually over several semesters, for both novice and experienced instructors. These data suggest the need for patience with programmatic reform efforts, and for stability in instructor-course assignments.
