Students Stumble With Inconclusive Results: An Exploratory Analysis on How Students Interpret Unexpected Results
written by
Joss Ives, Aaron M. Kraft, James Day, and Doug A. Bonn
Success in inquiry labs often requires students to grapple with results that contradict their expectations. Previous work has shown that students who see the goal of the lab in terms of model confirmation rather than model testing struggle to engage in inquiry. Our study set out to extend this previous work by looking at the impact of asking students to hypothesize in a first year lab activity designed to produce unexpected results. Our exploratory analysis shows that hypothesizing does not play a major role in students interpreting their results correctly; instead, inconclusive results are the most significant factor in explaining correct student interpretations. We will show that these misinterpretations are not the result of model confirmation bias, but rather, misunderstanding the statistical nature of the results.
