Assessing physics quantitative literacy development in algebra-based physics
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Trevor I. Smith +2
Quantitative reasoning is an essential learning objective of physics instruction. The Physics Inventory for Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) is an assessment tool that has been develop…
A framework for characterizing covariational reasoning in physics
Alexis Olsho, Charlotte Zimmerman, Suzanne White Brahmia
Covariational reasoning--considering how changes in one quantity affect another, related quantity--is a foundation of quantitative modeling in physics. Understanding quantitative m…
Empirical evidence of the inseparability of mathematics and physics in expert reasoning about novel graphing tasks
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +1
Pre-college mathematics modeling instruction often frames mathematics as being separated from reasoning about the real world -- and commonly treats reasoning mathematically and rea…
Expert covariational reasoning resources in physics graphing tasks
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +1
Developing and making sense of quantitative models is a core practice of physics. Covariational reasoning -- considering how the changes in one quantity affect changes in another,…
Online test administration results in students selecting more responses to multiple-choice-multiple-response items
Alexis Olsho, Trevor Smith, Suzanne White Brahmia +3
Multiple-choice multiple-response (MCMR) items (i.e., multiple-choice questions for which more than one response may be selected) can be a valuable tool for assessment. Like tradit…
The Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy: A tool for assessing mathematical reasoning in introductory physics
Suzanne White Brahmia, Alexis Olsho, Trevor I. Smith +3
One desired outcome of introductory physics instruction is that students will develop facility with reasoning quantitatively about physical phenomena. Little research has been done…
