以阶层线性模式探讨班级规模及其他教室特性对学生主动学习基础物理课程学习成效之影响

Hierarchical Linear Modeling Approach to Measuring the Effects of Class Size and Other Classroom Characteristics on Student Learning in an Active-Learning Based Introductory Physics Course

Connor Gorman, David Webb, Kevin Gee

摘要:

班级规模对学生学习的影响具有许多政策含义,几十年来一直是对话和研究的主要主题。尽管如此,在大学环境或物理课程的背景下,对班级规模的研究很少。在讨论了分层线性模型(HLM)背后的一些推理以及如何解释HLM分析的结果,同时将本研究应用于课程成绩的测量理论,本文继续使用一系列分层线性模型来研究基于主动学习的入门物理课程中班级规模的影响。结果发现,在研究的范围内,班级规模并没有显着的影响,学生成绩被用作代理学生理解的基础材料。然而,各种各样的问题和限制意味着这肯定不是故事的结尾,当涉及到这些课程以及影响学生成绩的各种因素时,无论是理论上还是经验上,都还有很多工作要做和讨论。

英文摘要:

The effect of class size on student learning has numerous policy implications and has been a major subject of conversation and research for decades. Despite this, few studies have been done on class size in the context of university settings or physics courses. After discussing some of the reasoning behind hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) as well as how to interpret the results of an HLM analysis while grounding this study in measurement theory as it applies to course grades, this paper goes on to examine the effect of class size in active-learning based introductory physics courses using a series of hierarchical linear models. It is found that class size over the ranges studied does not have a significant effect on student grades which were used as a proxy for student understanding of the underlying material. However, a variety of issues and limitations means this is certainly not the end of the story and there is still much to be done and discussed when it comes to these courses and the various factors which affect student achievement in them, both theoretically and empirically.
