A Multi-faceted Approach to Measuring Student Understanding
Data from the FMCE suggest that there may be inconsistencies in students' understanding of forces when various types of motion are presented. These inconsistencies are highly evident when testing for students' understanding using graphs. In the current study we assume that measurements of student understanding of a particular topic depend both on the student and on the instrument used to make the measurement. Multiple measurements are needed to build a more complete picture of what the student believes to be true. We compare individual student responses to 12 questions from three FMCE question clusters. Using various visualizations of the data including model analysis plots, contingency tables of student responses, and consistency plots, we identify trends that are not evident from traditional normalized-gain-based analyses. Statistical results from the Χ2 test of independence and one-way analysis of variance provide support for our findings.
