The challenges of changing teaching assistants' grading practices: Requiring students to show evidence of understanding
Emily Marshman, Ryan Sayer, Charles Henderson +2
Teaching assistants (TAs) are often responsible for grading in introductory physics courses at large research universities. Their grading practices can shape students' approaches t…
Physics teaching assistants' views of different types of introductory problems: Challenge of perceiving the instructional benefits of context-rich and multiple-choice problems
Melanie Good, Emily Marshman, Edit Yerushalmi +1
Given a physics scenario, different problem types presenting that scenario in various ways can emphasize different instructional goals. In this investigation, we examined the views…
Effect of Self Diagnosis on Subsequent Problem Solving Performance
Edit Yerushalmi, Andrew Mason, Elisheva Cohen +1
"Self-diagnosis tasks" aim at fostering diagnostic behavior by explicitly requiring students to present diagnosis as part of the activity of reviewing their problem solutions. The…
Self-Diagnosis, Scaffolding and Transfer in a More Conventional Introductory Physics Problem
Edit Yerushalmi, Andrew Mason, Elisheva Cohen +1
Previously we discussed how well students in an introductory physics course diagnosed their mistakes on a quiz problem with different levels of scaffolding support. In that case, t…
Identifying Differences in Diagnostic Skills between Physics Students: Students' Self-Diagnostic Performance Given Alternative Scaffolding
Elisheva Cohen, Andrew Mason, Chandralekha Singh +1
"Self-diagnosis tasks" aim at fostering diagnostic behavior by explicitly requiring students to present diagnosis as part of the activity of reviewing their problem solutions. We h…
Identifying Differences In Diagnostic Skills Between Physics Students: Developing A Rubric
Andrew Mason, Elisheva Cohen, Edit Yerushalmi +1
Expert problem solvers are characterized by continuous evaluation of their progress towards a solution. One characteristic of expertise is self-diagnosis directed towards elaborati…
