| Abstract Title: | Online computer coaches for introductory physics problem-solving -- usage patterns and students' performance |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The Physics Education Research Group at the University of Minnesota has been developing internet computer coaches to help students become more expert-like problem solvers. During the Fall 2011 and Spring 2013 semesters, the coaches were introduced into large sections (200+ students) of the calculus based introductory mechanics course at the University of Minnesota. In this poster, we will discuss the different usage patterns of the coaches and their correlations with student problem-solving performance and attitudes toward problem solving in physics. This work was supported by NSF DUE-0715615 and DUE-1226197. |
