Abstract Title: Fluids Conceptual Evaluation: Where are we now and where are we going?
Abstract Type: Contributed Poster Presentation
Abstract: The development of the Fluids Conceptual Evaluation (FCE) involves a collaborative effort among multiple institutions to create a reliable, valid, and fair two-tier multiple-choice instrument covering both fluids statics and dynamics featuring multiple representations. We generated 66 Tier 1 conceptual items and gave these questions to students in think-aloud interviews.  We are studying the reasons behind students' responses to generate Tier 2 responses for field testing.  This poster presents an overview of the FCE and its various items, as well as our plans for future field testing with diverse student populations. If you are interested in participating in the FCE field test, please reach out to the project lead, Dawn Meredith, at dawn.merdith@unh.edu.
