Abstract Title: Investigating how interactive lecture tutorials in algebra-based physics support student learning
Abstract Type: Contributed Poster Presentation
Abstract: Tutorials in Introductory Physics, a set of instructional materials designed for small classroom sections, has been shown to help students develop conceptual understanding. In recognition of the high resource demand of small classes, we are in the process of adapting the tutorials for use in interactive lecture classrooms. These interactive lecture tutorials have been developed and piloted for the last several years in the algebra-based physics courses at a large R1 institution. In this paper, we present results from an investigation into how the tutorials help support student learning in this setting. This paper also illustrates an approach to evaluating instructional interventions in situations in which many variables are uncontrolled.
