AI 中文摘要
基于研究的评估(RBAs)已被证明是物理教育研究(PER)中的重要工具,支持教学改革和基础研究。在快速发展的量子信息科学(QIS)领域,缺乏合适的RBAs限制了该领域基于证据对课程和项目开发做出决策的能力。本文中,我们推出量子计算概念调查问卷(QCCS),这一工具旨在通过测评学生对量子计算基础的概念理解来填补这一空白。利用来自50余门课程、700余名学生的试点数据,我们结合经典测验理论与Rasch模型的分析,提供了支持QCCS在入门级QIS课程中使用的有效性证据。我们详细说明了QCCS的潜在用途,旨在使其同时成为教师的实用工具,以及促进基于测量的QIS教育研究的手段。
英文摘要
Research-based assessments (RBAs) have proven to be valuable tools in PER, supporting both instructional reform and foundational research. In the rapidly-growing field of Quantum Information Science (QIS), the lack of suitable RBAs limits the field's ability to make evidence-based decisions about curricula and program development. In this paper, we introduce the Quantum Computing Conceptual Survey (QCCS), an instrument developed to help address this gap by measuring student conceptual understanding in the foundations of quantum computing. Using pilot data from over 50 courses and 700 students, we present evidence supporting the validity of the QCCS for use in introductory QIS courses, drawing on analyses from both classical test theory and the Rasch model. We detail the potential uses for the QCCS, intending for it to serve as both a practical tool for instructors and a means of facilitating measurement-driven QIS education research.
