Gauthier, Andrea; Jantzen, Stuart; McGill, Gaël; Jenkinson, Jodie – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
This paper discusses the results of two experiments assessing undergraduate students' beliefs about the random nature of molecular environments. Experiment 1 involved the implementation of a pilot adaptive assessment (n = 773) and focus group discussions with undergraduate students enrolled in first- through third-year biology courses; experiment…

Pujayanto, Pujayanto; Budiharti, Rini; Adhitama, Egy; Nuraini, Niken Rizky Amalia; Putri, Hanung Vernanda – Physics Education, 2018
This research proposes the development of a web-based assessment system to identify students' misconception. The system, named WAS (web-based assessment system), can identify students' misconception profile on linear kinematics automatically after the student has finished the test. The test instrument was developed and validated. Items were…

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…

Yetter, Ibrahim H.; Livengood, Kimberly K.; Smith, Walter S. – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2017
This study of science standards of all 50 states and 1958 American early adolescents asked whether there is agreement among states about a science topic, lunar phases, that appears in all recent national standards documents, is of cultural significance, and has been widely studied for misconceptions held by children and adults. Secondly, we asked…

Pawl, Andrew; Teodorescu, Raluca E.; Peterson, Joseph D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
We have developed simple data-mining algorithms to assess the consistency and the randomness of student responses to problems consisting of multiple true or false statements. In this paper we describe the algorithms and use them to analyze data from introductory physics courses. We investigate statements that emerge as outliers because the class…

Lin, Chen-Yu; Wang, Tzu-Hua – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
This research explored how different models of Web-based dynamic assessment in remedial teaching improved junior high school student learning achievement and their misconceptions about the topic of "Weather and Climate." This research adopted a quasi-experimental design. A total of 58 7th graders participated in this research.…

Lai, Ah-Fur; Chen, Deng-Jyi – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2010
Offering a series of diagnosis and individual remedial learning activities for a general class by means of web and multimedia technology can overcome the dilemma of conventional diagnosis and remedial instruction. The study proposes a three-layer conceptual framework and adopts a two-tier diagnostic test theory to develop a web-based two-tier…

Trumpower, David L.; Sarwar, Gul Shahzad – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
Within the field of education, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of formative assessment and of structural knowledge. In an effort to fill needs in each of these areas, this article describes an innovative feedback strategy intended to improve students' structural knowledge. Twenty-four high school physics students were…

Browning, Mark E.; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1988
Describes a computer program presenting four genetics problems to monitor the problem solving process of college students. Identifies three main areas of difficulty: computational skills; determination of gametes; and application of previous learning to new situations. (Author/YP)
