Efficacy of “A-La-Carte” Research-Based Curricular Elements
written by
Kevin C. Goering and Elizabeth Gire
Many studies have shown the benefits of student-centered, interactive curricula when compared to traditional lecture approaches. However, wholesale adoption of research-based pedagogies may not accommodate differences in instructional resources across institutions. We aim to understand how interactions between several research-validated may affect learning. We have implemented a first-semester, calculus-based physics course that combines elements from several such curricula. Students' conceptual understandings were measured using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) and showed significant gains for the modified course as compared to the traditional lecture course. We see that adopting elements of several different curricula may retain a positive impact on student learning.
