Ding, Lin; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
In a recent study, Caballero and colleagues conducted a large-scale evaluation using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) to compare student learning outcomes between two introductory physics curricula: the Matter and Interactions (M&I) mechanics course and a pedagogically-reformed-traditional-content (PRTC) mechanics course. Using a conventional…

Caballero, Marcos D.; Kohlmyer, Matthew A.; Schatz, Michael F. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
Students taking introductory physics are rarely exposed to computational modeling. In a one-semester large lecture introductory calculus-based mechanics course at Georgia Tech, students learned to solve physics problems using the VPython programming environment. During the term, 1357 students in this course solved a suite of 14 computational…

Formica, Sarah P.; Easley, Jessica L.; Spraker, Mark C. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2010
To determine whether teaching an introductory physics course with a traditional lecture style or with Just-in-Time teaching (a student-centered, interactive-engagement style) will help students to better understand Newtonian concepts, such as Newton's Third Law, 222 students in introductory physics courses taught by traditional lecture styles and…
