Two-Dimensional, Implicit Confidence Tests as a Tool for Recognizing Student Misconceptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING It is well established that a major barrier to learning are the misconceptions that students bring with them into the classroom or that develop during the course of instruction (Committee on Undergraduate Science Education 1997). Conventional teaching strategies, even those that directly address identified misconceptions, often fail to change students’ deeply held ideas (see as an example Gregg et al. 2001, which describes a study Two-Dimensional, Implicit Confidence Tests as a Tool for Recognizing Student Misconceptions

An Implicit Difference-ADI Method for the Two-dimensional Space-time Fractional Diffusion Equation
Fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations which are used to model in physics, finance, engineering, etc. In this paper we present an implicit difference approximation by using the alternating directions implicit (ADI) approach to solve the two-dimensional space-time fractional diffusion equation (2DSTFDE) on a finite domain. Consistency, unconditi...
متن کاملRecognizing Programming Misconceptions - An analysis of the data collected from the UUhistle program simulation tool
Lic.sc. (Tech) Juha Sorva Learning to program has many challenges. If a student encounters problems of understanding how the programming language works or how a program is executed, it might be hard to fix these misconceptions later. These misconceptions may also make it hard to learn more complicated concepts if the student does not understand the basics correctly. In program simulation exerci...
متن کاملIdentifying student misconceptions in biomedical course assessments in dental education.
Dental student performance on examinations has traditionally been estimated by calculating the percentage of correct responses rather than by identifying student misconceptions. Although misconceptions can impede student learning and are refractory to change, they are seldom measured in biomedical courses in dental schools. Our purpose was to determine if scaling student confidence and the clin...
