1 Predicting Student Performance in University Introductory Physics: The Role of Physics Concepts and Math Skills. Is there a physics placement test? Ken Heller, Jennifer Docktor, Leo Santiago School of Physics and Astronomy 2 year continuing project to improve undergraduate education with contributions by: Many faculty and graduate students of U of M Physics Department In collaboration with U of M Physics Education Group Details at Supported in part by Department of Education (FIPSE), NSF, and the University of Minnesota
2 1. Two Populations Both Calculus Based Physics Engineering and Physical Science Majors (77% male) Pre-med and Biological Science Majors (59% female) 2. Measuring Basic Physics Concepts (FCI). Gender Differences? Predict Success? 2. Measuring Math Skills Emphasizing the behavior of single objects Emphasizing the behavior of complex systems Gender Differences? Predict Success? 3. Correlations and Background factors? High School Physics High School Math
3 U of M Physics Course Structure LECTURES DISCUSSION SECTION LABORATORY TESTS 6% drop out rate, 3% D/F rate Not applied perfectly Three hours each week, sometimes with informal cooperative groups. Model constructing knowledge, model problem solving framework. One hour each Thursday -- groups practice using problem-solving framework to solve context-rich problems in cooperative groups. Peer & instructor coaching. Two hours each week -- same cooperative groups practice using framework to solve concrete experimental problems. Same TA. Peer & instructor coaching. Friday -- problem-solving quiz & conceptual questions (usually multiple choice) every three weeks.
4 Engineering and Physical Science Students Topics first semester Emphasizing the behavior of single objects Kinematics constant acceleration (2 wks) Circular motion & relative motion (1 wk) Forces and acceleration (3 wks) Energy (2 wks) Momentum (1 wk) Rotations (1 wk) Angular momentum (2 wks) Statics (1 wk) Oscillations (2 wks) Pre-Med and Biological Science Students Topics first semester Emphasizing the behavior of complex systems Forces and Torque in Equilibrium including fluids (3 wks) Energy including fluid flow (4 wks) Forces and acceleration including oscillations (2 wks) Kinematics including non-constant acceleration (2 wks) Thermodynamics (4 weeks)
