The effects of a redesign on students’ attitudes and evaluations for an introductory calculus-based physics lab
written by
Saif M. Ali and Brian D. Thoms
This study assesses student reactions to a redesign of an introductory calculus-based physics lab. A three-hour verification-style lab was replaced with a one-hour tutorial and two-hour inquiry-based lab. After confirming that the redesign improved students' performance in a separate study, this work evaluates students' opinions to determine if they were "buying in" to the redesigned process. When the lab concluded, the students from both labs were asked a series of Likert-scale and free-response questions. The responses were analyzed using a coding rubric to determine students' thoughts on the tutorial and lab. This revealed what aspects of the lab the students believed most positively and negatively affected their learning. It was observed that students had an overwhelmingly negative take on the new lab's tutorial section. Interestingly, tutorials were also among the most frequent positive comments. This finding, along with others, was scrutinized to check for any trends that allow us to make hypotheses and significant observations.
