A comparison of the impact of 3 forms of "hands-on" activities for learners with different scientific reasoning abilities
written by
Susan M. Fischer, Elise Agra, and Sian L. Beilock
We have developed a set of activities designed to aid student understanding of torque and center of gravity. The activities exist in three forms, each appropriate for a group member engaged in a "hands-on" classroom experience: embodied, involving balancing objects on one's hands, traditional hands-on, involving a meter stick balanced on a fulcrum, and observation of an experimenter performing the embodied activity. Our study is outside of the classroom and includes two populations of learners with significantly different abilities at pre-test. We find that the different types of training impact the two populations differently. In particular, participants with lower overall pre-test accuracies who observe the embodied activity show poorer gains on torque questions requiring proportional reasoning than participants with hands-on or embodied training, while observer participants with higher overall pre-test accuracies achieve high gains on even the more challenging transfer problems.
