| Abstract Title: | Implementing a Problem-Solving Assessment Tool on a Student-Centered Classroom |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | In a large private Mexican University both introductory physics and mathematics courses are taught in a Student-Centered Learning Classroom (ACE classroom in Spanish) which is based on the Student Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs (SCALE-UP) classroom. [1] In both courses, activities to improve students' Problem-Solving skills are implemented. To assess Problem-Solving skills, we use the Physics Problem-Solving Assessment Rubric by Docktor [2] in which students' solution of a problem is assessed. In this contribution we propose an implementation protocol that reduces average raters' disagreement. This protocol enables novice raters to reach an average disagreement as low as 14% in the first implementation. 1. R. Beichner, in Research-Based Reform of University Physics (2007), Vol. 1. 2. J.
