Rural and First Generation Performance Differences on the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation
Differences in student performance on physics conceptual inventories have been studied with respect to gender and race/ethnicity. The current study expands this literature by exploring differences between first generation college students and rural/non-rural students on the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) using a large sample (N = 3325). Hierarchical linear regression was used to explore the effects of gender, race/ethnicity, first-generation status, and rural status. Significant differences in FMCE post-test scores were found by gender (14%), race/ethnicity (7%), first generation status (4%), and rural status (5%). Prior preparation, measured by ACT/SAT math scores, explained much of the performances by race/ethnicity and first generation status, but did not explain the differences in post-test scores by gender or rural status. No significant interactions between the different demographic features were measured.
