TL;DR: The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) as mentioned in this paper is a new instrument designed to measure student beliefs about physics and about learning physics and has been validated using interviews, reliability studies, and extensive statistical analyses of responses from over 5000 students.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing the Gender Achievement Gap in College Science: A Classroom Study of Values Affirmation
Akira Miyake,Lauren E. Kost-Smith,Noah D. Finkelstein,Steven J. Pollock,Geoffrey L. Cohen,Tiffany A. Ito +5 more
TL;DR: Values affirmation reduced the male-female performance and learning difference substantially and elevated women's modal grades from the C to B range, and benefits were strongest for women who tended to endorse the stereotype that men do better than women in physics.
Journal ArticleDOI
When learning about the real world is better done virtually: A study of substituting computer simulations for laboratory equipment
Noah D. Finkelstein,Wendy Adams,C. J. Keller,Patrick B. Kohl,Katherine K. Perkins,Noah S. Podolefsky,Sam Reid,Ron LeMaster +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of substituting a computer simulation for real laboratory equipment in the second semester of a large-scale introductory physics course were examined in a direct current circuit laboratory.
