Effectiveness of Different Tutorial Recitation Teaching Methods and Its Implications for TA Training
Koenig, Kathleen M.; Endorf, Robert J.; Braun, Gregory A. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2007
We present results from a comparative study of student understanding for students who attended recitation classes that used different teaching methods. Student volunteers from our introductory calculus-based physics course attended a special recitation class that was taught using one of four different teaching methods. A total of 272 students were…

Ding, Lin; Reay, Neville W.; Lee, Albert; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2008
Pre-testing and post-testing is a commonly used method in Physics Education Research to assess student learning gains. It is well recognized in the community that timings and incentives in delivering conceptual tests can impact test results. However, it is difficult to control these variables across different studies. As a common practice, a…

Ding, Lin; Reay, Neville; Lee, Albert; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
It is well documented that when solving problems experts first search for underlying concepts while students tend to look for equations and previously worked examples. The overwhelming majority of end-of-chapter (EOC) problems in most introductory physics textbooks contain only material and examples discussed in a single chapter, rarely requiring…

Scaife, Thomas M.; Heckler, Andrew F. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
We investigate student confusion of concepts of electric and magnetic force. At various times during a traditional university-level course, we administered a series of simple questions about the direction of force on a charged particle moving through either an electric or a magnetic field. We find that after electric force instruction but before…
