Journal ArticleDOI
Model Analysis: Representing and Assessing the Dynamics of Student Learning.
Lei Bao,Edward F. Redish +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model analysis, which applies qualitative research to establish a quantitative representation framework to assess students' alternative knowledge and the probabilities for students to use such knowledge in a range of equivalent contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model analysis of fine structures of student models: An example with Newton’s third law
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of context in students' uses of alternative conceptual models was studied using Newton's third law as an example and a multiple-choice survey was developed to probe the effects of specific contextual features on student reasoning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward the effective use of voting machines in physics lectures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used voting machines with carefully designed sets of multiple-choice questions and instantaneous voting summaries to improve classroom dynamics and provided students with several opportunities per concept to test their understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Probabilistic Interpretations of Physical Systems: A Prerequisite to Learning Quantum Physics.
Lei Bao,Edward F. Redish +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a set of hands-on tutorial activities appropriate for use in a modern physics course for engineers, and discussed some student difficulties with probability concepts and an instructional approach that uses a random picture metaphor and digital video technology.
