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…
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…
Exploring student facility with "goes like'' reasoning in introductory physics
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Andrew Boudreaux +3
Covariational reasoning -- reasoning about how changes in one quantity relate to changes in another quantity -- has been examined extensively in mathematics education research. Lit…
Online administration of a reasoning inventory in development
Alexis Olsho, Suzanne White Brahmia, Trevor Smith +3
We are developing a new research based assessment (RBA) focused on quantitative reasoning -- rather than conceptual understanding -- in physics contexts. We rapidly moved administr…
Toward a valid instrument for measuring physics quantitative literacy
Trevor I. Smith, Philip Eaton, Suzanne White Brahmia +3
We have developed the Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) as a tool to measure students' quantitative literacy in the context of introductory physics topics. We prese…
Using psychometric tools as a window into students' quantitative reasoning in introductory physics
Trevor I. Smith, Philip Eaton, Suzanne White Brahmia +6
The Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy (PIQL), a reasoning inventory under development, aims to assess students' physics quantitative literacy at the introductory level. Th…
Developing a reasoning inventory for measuring physics quantitative literacy
Trevor I. Smith, Suzanne W. Brahmia, Alexis Olsho +6
In an effort to improve the quality of citizen engagement in workplace, politics, and other domains in which quantitative reasoning plays an important role, Quantitative Literacy (…
