| Abstract: | In this poster, we will discuss adapting an existing web-based computer coaching system to teach skill sets valued by the Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS). Science education at all levels is currently undergoing dramatic changes in the ways students are taught and assessed. As NGSS begins to be implemented nationwide at the K-12 level, the physics education community has begun to explore its implication for introductory physics college courses as well. In particular, it establishes three dimensions of science learning on which to base a curriculum: Scientific practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas. An existing web-based computer coaching system was shown to be effective to improve students' problem-solving skills in introductory physics. Here we present some preliminary results in exploring the possibilities of utilizing such computer coaches to teach the three dimensions of science learning |
