Overview
• Experts involved in development• Faculty discuss how they use the surveys in
practice
Concept Inventories: A Disclaimer
Force Concept Inventory (FCI)
• D. Hestenes, M. Wells, and G. Swackhamer (1992). Force Concept Inventory, The Physics Teacher 30, 141-151.
• R. Hake (1998). Interactive-engagement vs. traditional methods: A six thousand-student survey of mechanics test data for introductory physics courses. Am. J. Phys.66, 64-74.
Biology Concept Assessments
• Anderson, D. L., Fisher, K. M., & Norman, G. J. (2002). Development and evaluation of the conceptual inventory of natural selection. Journal of research in science teaching, 39(10), 952-978.
• Smith, M. K., Wood, W. B., & Knight, J. K. (2008). The genetics concept assessment: a new concept inventory for gauging student understanding of genetics. CBE-Life Sciences Education, 7(4), 422-430.
Opening Up the Black Box
• Colorado Upper-Division Electrostatics Diagnostic ( CUE)
CUE ExampleDO NOT SOLVE the problem, we just want to know:- The general strategy - Why you chose that method
Neutral, non-conducting cube, charge density that depends on origin. Find V at point P, off-axis, at distance 50a.
