Elaine Christman; Paul Miller; John Stewart – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
This study proposes methods of reporting results of physics conceptual evaluations that more fully characterize the range of outcomes experienced by students with differing levels of prior preparation, allowing for more meaningful comparison of the outcomes of educational interventions within and across institutions. Factors leading to variation…

Hewagallage, Dona; Christman, Elaine; Stewart, John – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
This study investigated factors influencing Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) pretest and post-test scores for a sample (N=1116 students) collected in the introductory calculus-based mechanics class at a large eastern land-grant university. Several academic and noncognitive factors were examined using correlation analysis and linear…

Henderson, Rachel; Stewart, John; Traxler, Adrienne – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Over the last decade, the "gender gap" in physics conceptual inventory scores has been extensively studied by the physics education research community. Researchers have identified many factors that influence the overall differences in post-test scores between men and women. More recently, it has been shown that the Force Concept…
