| Abstract Title: | Group Formation on Physics Exams |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | As our classrooms become more active and collaborative, we need to consider ways that our assessments can take on the same active and collaborative spirit that our classes have. One way that has come into practice is through the use of group exams. In exams at Texas State University and East Carolina University, we have utilized a two-phase exam format while allowing students to form their own groups. We have analyzed self-reported collaboration data which allows us to consider the ways that classroom furniture changes collaboration patterns. We also analyze multiple patterns of group dynmaics evident in student responses, using some of the measures developed by Beatty as a model for our study.[1] [1] I.
