Student reasoning about measurement uncertainty in an introductory lab course
written by
Heather J. Lewandowski, Robert Hobbs, Jacob T. Stanley, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, and Benjamin Pollard
Proficiency with calculating, reporting, and understanding measurement uncertainty is a nationally recognized learning outcome for undergraduate physics lab courses. The Physics Measurement Questionnaire (PMQ) is a research-based assessment tool that measures such understanding. The PMQ was designed to characterize student reasoning into point or set paradigms, where the set paradigm is more aligned with expert reasoning. We analyzed over 500 student open-ended responses collected at the beginning and the end of a traditional introductory lab course at the University of Colorado Boulder. We discuss changes in students' understanding over a semester by analyzing pre-post shifts in student responses regarding data collection, data analysis, and data comparison.
