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…
