Gaffney, Jon D. H.; Gaffney, Amy L. Housley; Beichner, Robert J. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2010
We present a measure, which we have named the Pedagogical Expectancy Violation Assessment (PEVA), for instructors to gauge one aspect of the success of their implementation of pedagogical reform by assessing the expectations and experiences of the students in the classroom. We implemented the PEVA in four physics classes at three institutions that…

Dancy, Melissa H.; Beichner, Robert – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2006
This study investigates the effect of computer animation on assessment and the conditions under which animation may improve or hinder assessment of conceptual understanding in physics. An instrument was developed by replacing static pictures and descriptions of motion with computer animations on the Force Concept Inventory, a commonly used pencil…

Ding, Lin; Chabay, Ruth; Beichner, Robert – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2006
The Brief Electricity and Magnetism Assessment (BEMA), developed by Chabay and Sherwood, was designed to assess student understanding of basic electricity and magnetism concepts covered in college-level calculus-based introductory physics courses. To evaluate the reliability and discriminatory power of this assessment tool, we performed…
