物理实验室批判性思维量表(PLIC)的访谈验证

Interview validation of the Physics Lab Inventory of Critical thinking (PLIC)

Katherine N. Quinn, Carl Wieman, N. G. Holmes

摘要:

虽然入门物理实验室的一个重要目标是训练学生的科学推理和批判性思维,但目前还没有标准的物理测试来评估这些技能。我们正在开发和验证物理实验室批判性思维量表(PLIC),这是一项旨在探索学生在物理实验室课程中批判性思维能力的评估。该仪器要求学生评论一组实验方法和数据,并使用它们来评估特定的物理模型(弹簧上的质量周期)。目前,我们正在通过对学生的采访来验证封闭式问卷调查,并在这里展示了12次此类采访的结果。我们描述了从这些访谈中出现的一种趋势,学生的推理分为三种主要的行为模式:选择所有选项,提示关键词和批判性分析。我们已经找到了让学生转向最后一种更可取的行为的方法。我们讨论了这些发现可能与其他概念量表的设计相关的方式。

英文摘要:

Although an important goal of introductory physics labs is to train students in scientific reasoning and critical thinking, currently there are no standard tests in physics designed to assess such skills. We are in the process of developing and validating the Physics Lab Inventory of Critical thinking (PLIC), an assessment to probe students' critical thinking abilities in physics lab courses. The instrument asks students to critique a set of experimental methods and data and use them to evaluate a particular physical model (the period of a mass on a spring). Currently, we are validating the closed-response survey through interviews with students and present the results of 12 such interviews here. We describe a trend that has emerged from these interviews, with students' reasoning falling into three main patterns of behavior: selecting all options, cuing on keywords, and critically analyzing. We have found ways to shift students to the last and more desirable behavior. We discuss ways in which these findings are likely relevant to the design of other concept inventories.
