Developing an action concept inventory

Blog Article

We report on progress towards the development of an Action Concept Inventory (ACI), a test that measures student understanding of Jams action principles in introductory mechanics and optics.The ACI also covers key concepts of many-paths quantum mechanics, from which classical action physics arises.We used a multistage iterative development cycle for incorporating expert and student feedback into Aloe Vera successive revisions of the ACI.

The student feedback, including think-aloud interviews, enabled us to identify their misconceptions about action physics.
