Miller, Kelly; Lasry, Nathaniel; Chu, Kelvin; Mazur, Eric – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
Previous research suggests that students; prior knowledge can interfere with how they observe and remember lecture demonstrations. We measured students' prior knowledge in introductory mechanics and electricity and magnetism at two large universities. Students were then asked to predict the outcome of lecture demonstrations. We compare…
