Schroeder, Noah; Gladding, Gary; Gutmann, Brianne; Stelzer, Timothy – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Narrated animated solution videos were implemented in a clinical study that compared a mastery setting that employed repeated cycles of testing with instructional support to a group that had a single opportunity to experience the materials. The mastery setting students attempted sequential questions sets on a topic, with animated solutions between…

Gladding, Gary; Gutmann, Brianne; Schroeder, Noah; Stelzer, Timothy – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
This paper is part of a series of studies to improve the efficacy of online physics homework activities by integrating narrated animated solutions with mastery inspired exercises. In a clinical study using first- and second-year university students, the mastery group attempted question sets in four levels, with animated solutions between each…

Chen, Zhongzhou; Gladding, Gary – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
Visual representations play a critical role in teaching physics. However, since we do not have a satisfactory understanding of how visual perception impacts the construction of abstract knowledge, most visual representations used in instructions are either created based on existing conventions or designed according to the instructor's intuition,…

Chen, Zhongzhou; Stelzer, Timothy; Gladding, Gary – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2010
It is known that introductory physics students rarely, if ever, read the textbook prior to coming to lecture. In this study, we report results from a curriculum intervention in a large enrollment introductory physics class that addresses this problem. In particular, we introduced web-based multimedia learning modules (MLMs) as a "prelecture…

Scott, Michael; Stelzer, Tim; Gladding, Gary – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2006
The reliability and validity of professionally written multiple-choice exams have been extensively studied for exams such as the SAT, graduate record examination, and the force concept inventory. Much of the success of these multiple-choice exams is attributed to the careful construction of each question, as well as each response. In this study,…
