Uptake of solution checks by undergraduate physics students
written by
Tiffany-Rose Sikorski, Gary D. White, and Justin Landay
A persistent concern within physics education is students' apparent failure to check the reasonableness of their answers. In an effort to better understand how students' capacity for checking solutions develops, this paper examines data on solution checking in an upper-level undergraduate electricity and magnetism course. All students demonstrated the ability to check answers in multiple ways, but showed variability in how they chose to do so, with checking units the most easily activated check, and numerical values strikingly underutilized.
