Vy Le; Jayson M. Nissen; Xiuxiu Tang; Yuxiao Zhang; Amirreza Mehrabi; Jason W. Morphew; Hua Hua Chang; Ben Van Dusen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
In physics education research, instructors and researchers often use research-based assessments (RBAs) to assess students' skills and knowledge. In this paper, we support the development of a mechanics cognitive diagnostic to test and implement effective and equitable pedagogies for physics instruction. Adaptive assessments using cognitive…

Olsho, Alexis; Smith, Trevor I.; Eaton, Philip; Zimmerman, Charlotte; Boudreaux, Andrew; White Brahmia, Suzanne – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We developed the Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) to assess students' quantitative reasoning in introductory physics contexts. The PIQL includes several "multiple-choice-multipleresponse" (MCMR) items (i.e., multiple-choice questions for which more than one response may be selected) as well as traditional single-response…

Küchemann, Stefan; Malone, Sarah; Edelsbrunner, Peter; Lichtenberger, Andreas; Stern, Elsbeth; Schumacher, Ralph; Brünken, Roland; Vaterlaus, Andreas; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Representational competence is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes. In this study, we present the initial validation of a newly developed…
