Students often complain that they cannot see the relevance of what they are being taught in foundation physics classes. While revising and adjusting the curriculum and teaching are important, this study suggests it might also be useful to help students view their learning in relation to their future career aspirations. This paper reports on a study conducted with first-year students enrolled in a compulsory foundation physics unit with a history of low pass rates. Working within a “possible selves” framework, activities were designed to help students position their learning in relation to possible future lives and careers. Two cohorts of students (N=93) engaged in an intensive workshop comprising multiple activities relating to self and career. Self-reflection worksheets were analyzed using content analysis. The results indicate that students experience immediate benefits from these activities through self-reflection on the current self, future possible professional selves, and the role of current studies in narrowing the gap between the two.
学生们经常抱怨,他们看不出基础物理课上所教内容的相关性。虽然修改和调整课程和教学很重要,但这项研究表明,帮助学生将他们的学习与他们未来的职业抱负联系起来可能也很有用。本文报告了一项对一年级学生进行的研究,这些学生参加了一门通过率低的必修基础物理课程。在“可能的自我”框架下,活动旨在帮助学生将他们的学习与未来可能的生活和职业联系起来。两组学生(N=93)参加了一个密集的研讨会,包括与自我和职业有关的多项活动。采用内容分析法对自省工作表进行分析。结果表明,学生通过对当前自我、未来可能的职业自我以及当前研究在缩小两者之间差距方面的作用的自我反思,从这些活动中获得了直接的好处。

Drawing and using free body diagrams: Why it may be better not to decompose forces? 绘制和使用自由体图:为什么不分解力可能更好?

In this study we investigated how two different approaches to drawing free body diagrams influence the development of students' understanding of Newton's laws including their ability to identify real forces. For this purpose we developed a 12- item two-tier multiple choice survey and conducted a quasi-experiment. This experiment included two groups of first-year physics students from Rijeka (RG) and Split (SG) University. Students from both groups solved mechanics problems for a period of two class hours. The only difference was that RG students used the superposition of forces approach to solving mechanics problems and in SG the decomposition of forces approach has been used. The ANCOVA showed a statistically significant difference in favour of RG, whereby the effect sizes were moderate to large, and largest differences have been observed in the ability of identifying real forces. Students from the control group (SG) more often exhibited the misconception that forces and their components act on a body independently and simultaneously. Our results support the idea that the practice of resolving forces into components may not be the most effective way to develop understanding of Newton's laws and the concept of force.
在这项研究中,我们调查了绘制自由体图的两种不同方法如何影响学生对牛顿定律的理解,包括他们识别真实力的能力。为此,我们开发了一个12项的双层选择调查,并进行了一个准实验。这项实验包括两组来自里耶卡大学和斯普利特大学的一年级物理学生。两组学生用两个学时的时间解决力学问题。唯一的区别是,RG学生使用力的叠加方法来解决力学问题,而在SG中使用了力的分解方法。ANCOVA显示了统计学上显著的差异,有利于RG,由此效应大小从中等到大,最大的差异已经观察到在识别真实力量的能力。控制组(SG)的学生更多地表现出力及其组成部分独立地同时作用于物体的误解。我们的结果支持这样一种观点,即将力分解成分量的做法可能不是发展对牛顿定律和力概念理解的最有效方式。

This study was based on the hypothesis that students’ epistemological beliefs could become more expertlike with a combination of appropriate instructional activities: (i) preclass reading with metacognitive reflection, and (ii) in-class active learning that produces cognitive dissonance. This hypothesis was tested through a five-year study involving close to 1000 students at two institutions, in four physics courses. Using an experimental design, data from student interviews, writing product assessments, and the Discipline-Focused Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire (DFEBQ) we demonstrate that the beliefs of novice science learners became more expertlike on 2 of the 4 DFEBQ factors. We conclude that a combination of an activity that gets students to examine textual material metacognitively (Reflective Writing) with one or more types of in-class active learning interventions can promote positive change in students’ epistemological beliefs.
本研究基于以下假设:通过适当的教学活动:(i)课前阅读与元认知反思,以及(ii)课堂上产生认知失调的主动学习,学生的认识论信念可以变得更像专家。这一假设是通过一项为期五年的研究来验证的,该研究涉及两所院校的近1000名学生,他们学习了四门物理课程。通过实验设计、来自学生访谈、写作产品评估和学科关注的认识论信念问卷(DFEBQ)的数据,我们证明了科学初学者的信念在4个DFEBQ因素中的2个因素上变得更像专家。我们得出的结论是,让学生对文本材料进行元认知检查的活动(反思性写作)与一种或多种课堂主动学习干预相结合,可以促进学生认识论信念的积极变化。

Stimulated recall interviews for describing pragmatic epistemology 刺激回忆访谈描述语用认识论
Pub Date : 2015-12-01 DOI: 10.1103/PHYSREVSTPER.11.020138
Christopher W. Shubert, D. Meredith
Students’ epistemologies affect how and what they learn: do they believe physics is a list of equations, or a coherent and sensible description of the physical world? In order to study these epistemologies as part of curricular assessment, we adopt the resources framework, which posits that students have many productive epistemological resources that can be brought to bear as they learn physics. In previous studies, these epistemologies have been either inferred from behavior in learning contexts or probed through surveys or interviews outside of the learning context. We argue that stimulated recall interviews provide a contextually and interpretively valid method to access students’ epistemologies that complement existing methods. We develop a stimulated recall interview methodology to assess a curricular intervention and find evidence that epistemological resources aptly describe student epistemologies.
学生的认识论影响他们学习的方式和内容:他们认为物理学是一系列方程,还是对物理世界的连贯而合理的描述?为了将这些认识论作为课程评估的一部分进行研究,我们采用了资源框架,该框架假定学生在学习物理时可以使用许多富有成效的认识论资源。在以前的研究中,这些认识论要么是从学习情境中的行为推断出来的,要么是通过学习情境之外的调查或访谈来探索的。我们认为,刺激回忆访谈提供了一种上下文和解释有效的方法来获取学生的认识论,补充了现有的方法。我们开发了一种刺激回忆访谈方法来评估课程干预,并找到证据表明认识论资源恰当地描述了学生的认识论。

Students' Proficiency Scores within Multitrait Item Response Theory. 多特质项目反应理论下的学生熟练程度得分。
Pub Date : 2015-11-19 DOI: 10.1103/PHYSREVSTPER.11.020134

In this paper we present a series of item response models of data collected using the Force Concept Inventory. The Force Concept Inventory (FCI) was designed to poll the Newtonian conception of force viewed as a multidimensional concept, that is, as a complex of distinguishable conceptual dimensions. Several previous studies have developed single-trait item response models of FCI data; however, we feel that multidimensional models are also appropriate given the explicitly multidimensional design of the inventory. The models employed in the research reported here vary in both the number of fitting parameters and the number of underlying latent traits assumed. We calculate several model information statistics to ensure adequate model fit and to determine which of the models provides the optimal balance of information and parsimony. Our analysis indicates that all item response models tested, from the single-trait Rasch model through to a model with ten latent traits, satisfy the standard requirements of fit. However, analysis of model information criteria indicates that the five-trait model is optimal. We note that an earlier factor analysis of the same FCI data also led to a five-factor model. Furthermore the factors in our previous study and the traits identified in the current work match each other well. The optimal five-trait model assigns proficiency scores to all respondents for each of the five traits. We construct a correlation matrix between the proficiencies in each of these traits. This correlation matrix shows strong correlations between some proficiencies, and strong anticorrelations between others. We present an interpretation of this correlation matrix.
在本文中,我们提出了一系列使用力概念量表收集的数据的项目反应模型。力概念量表(FCI)旨在将牛顿的力概念视为一个多维概念,即一个可区分的概念维度的复合体。先前的一些研究已经建立了FCI数据的单特征项目反应模型;然而,我们认为多维模型也适用于明确的多维库存设计。这里报告的研究中使用的模型在拟合参数的数量和假设的潜在特征的数量上都有所不同。我们计算了几个模型信息统计,以确保足够的模型拟合,并确定哪个模型提供了信息和简约的最佳平衡。结果表明,从单特质的Rasch模型到包含10个潜在特质的Rasch模型,所有测试的项目反应模型都满足拟合的标准要求。然而,模型信息准则分析表明,五特征模型是最优的。我们注意到,对相同FCI数据的早期因素分析也导致了五因素模型。此外,我们之前研究的因素与当前工作中确定的特征相匹配。最优的五特质模型将五个特质的熟练程度分配给所有受访者。我们在这些特征的熟练程度之间构建了一个相关矩阵。这个相关矩阵显示了一些熟练程度之间的强相关性,以及其他熟练程度之间的强反相关性。我们给出了这个相关矩阵的解释。

Students’ ability to effectively study for an exam, or to manage their time during an exam, is related to their metacognitive capacity. Prior research has demonstrated the effective use of metacognitive strategies during learning and retrieval is related to content expertise. Students also make judgments of their own learning and of problem difficulty to guide their studying. This study extends prior research by investigating the accuracy of novices’ and experts’ ability to judge problem difficulty across two experiments; here “accuracy” refers to whether or not their judgments of problem difficulty corresponds with actual exam performance in an introductory mechanics physics course. In the first experiment, physics education research (PER) experts judged the difficulty of introductory physics problems and provided the rationales behind their judgments. Findings indicate that experts use a number of different problem features to make predictions of problem difficulty. While experts are relatively accurate in judging problem difficulty, their content expertise may interfere with their ability to predict student performance on some question types. In the second experiment novices and “near experts” (graduate TAs) judged which question from a problem pair (taken from a real exam) was more difficult. The results indicate that judgments of problem difficulty are more accurate for those with greater content expertise, suggesting that the ability to predict problem difficulty is a trait of expertise which develops with experience.
学生有效备考的能力,或在考试期间管理时间的能力,与他们的元认知能力有关。先前的研究表明,学习和检索过程中元认知策略的有效使用与内容专业知识有关。学生还会对自己的学习情况和问题的难度做出判断,以指导自己的学习。本研究扩展了先前的研究,通过两个实验考察了新手和专家判断问题难度的能力的准确性;这里的“准确性”是指在力学物理入门课程中,学生对问题难度的判断与实际考试成绩是否相符。在第一个实验中,物理教育研究(PER)专家对物理入门题的难度进行了判断,并提供了其判断背后的基本原理。研究结果表明,专家使用许多不同的问题特征来预测问题的难度。虽然专家在判断问题难度方面相对准确,但他们在内容方面的专业知识可能会影响他们预测学生在某些问题上的表现。在第二个实验中,新手和“准专家”(研究生助教)从一组问题(取自真实考试)中判断哪个问题更难。结果表明,内容专业程度越高的学生对问题难度的判断越准确,这表明预测问题难度的能力是一种随经验发展的专业特征。
