| Abstract Title: | Preliminary results for the development and deployment of Conceptual Learning Assessment Instruments Methodology Survey (CLAIMS) |

| Abstract: | Following the creation of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), many STEM discipline-based education researchers developed their own version of concept inventories. To incorporate all types of concept inventories created; we introduce the terminology of Conceptual Learning Assessment Instruments (CLAIs). Previous research shows much variation between what is considered a CLAI and the type of evidence used to support the inferences made from the results of CLAIs. As part of our study, we began by creating the Conceptual Learning Assessment Inventory Methodology Survey (CLAIMS). The CLAIMS was sent to developers of over 100 CLAIs identified via a systematic/ structured literature review. This poster discusses the research behind the CLAIMS as well as the preliminary results for the different CLAIs. By comparing these methodologies and evidence collected, we hope to draw attention to differences both within disciplines and between fields. |
