Shifts in students’ responses to conceptual questions after a new physics conceptual worksheet: Preliminary findings
written by Lauren C. Bauman, Lisa M. Goodhew, Anne T. Alesandrini, Al K. Snow, and Amy D. Robertson
Conceptual understanding is one metric that has been historically valued in the assessment of physics-education-research-based instructional materials. Attending to COnceptual Resources iN (ACORN) Physics Tutorials are instructional materials that are based on research identifying common conceptual resources for understanding physics--good ideas or "seeds of science" which can be developed into more sophisticated scientific understandings. For this study, we used pre- and post-tests and classroom video to assess students' conceptual understanding as they completed an ACORN Physics Tutorial about electric circuits. We present the preliminary results of our analysis in this paper; mainly, students more often answered the post-test questions correctly and relied on the resource current is responsive after the use of the ACORN Physics Circuits Tutorial.
