  1. CDRP in Science • Adrian O’Keefe • Oct 15th 2009

  2. Curriculum Design & Review Process Implement Design Renew Determine Evaluate

  3. CDRP in Science Published and Shared

  4. Curriculum Design & • Review Process Implement Design Renew Determine Evaluate Learning Results

  5. CDRP in Science • Stage 4: Evaluate • How do we know our curriculum is working? • How do we analyze learning results to inform curriculum design & teaching?

  6. CDRP in Science • Stage 4: Evaluate • Do we gather learning results regularly and consistently? • Do we record and communicate results? • Do we use learning results to make instructional decisions? • Dowe demonstrate that student learning results meet or exceed expectations?

  7. Concept Inventories • One Aspect of Evaluation • External to • Curriculum • Uniform Among • Sections • Professionally • Developed • Provides Data

  8. Force Concept Inventory • The Physics Teacher , Vol 30, March 1992 • Focused on the Newtonian concept of force • Conceptual, not computational • Timed Multiple Choice: 30 questions in 30 minutes Isaac Newton

  9. Force Concept Inventory At SI • Diagnostic Tool • Does not affect students’ grades • Given after (but not right after) corresponding unit on Newton’s Laws • 5 years of data (2004 – 2009) at general, honors, and AP levels

  10. Force Concept Inventory SI Physics: FCI Results from 2004 - 2009 Mastery Proficient Guessing

  11. Force Concept Inventory SI Physics: FCI Results from 2004 - 2009 Mastery Proficient Guessing

  12. Force Concept Inventory SI Physics: FCI Results from 2005-06 Mastery Proficient Guessing

  13. Force Concept Inventory SI Physics: FCI Results from 2006-07 Mastery Proficient Guessing

  14. Force Concept Inventory At SI • Correlation with grades? • Example: Honors Physics • Grading Scale • 4 = Mastery • 3 = Proficiency • 2 = Passing • 1 = Not Proficient

  15. Force Concept Inventory At SI FCI Score and Unit Grade in Phys Honors (2007) Mastery Proficient FCI Score Guessing Unit Grade – Newton’s Laws

  16. Force Concept Inventory • Every question & answer choice probes for misconceptions

  17. Force Concept Inventory • Questions correspond to core curricular concepts

  18. Force Concept Inventory Concept Analysis: SI Physics (2007)

  19. Force Concept Inventory • Conclusions • Inventories are one piece of the evaluation “puzzle” • Curriculum, not teacher, is best predictor of student performance on inventories • Challenges • Renewing curriculum in response to results • Results raise other questions (class size, gender, etc) • Expanding use & effectiveness of inventories • Evaluation through other methods & tools

  20. Concept Inventories • Physics • FCI (Force Concept Inventory) • CSEM (Conceptual Survey of Electricity & Magnetism) • Chemistry • CCI (Chemical Concept Inventory) • Biology • CINS (Concept Inventory of Natural Selection)

  21. CDRP • Stage 4: Evaluate • Do we gather learning results regularly and consistently? • Do we record and communicate results? • Do we use learning results to make instructional decisions? • Do we demonstrate that student learning results meet or exceed expectations?

  22. Curriculum Design & • Review Process Implement Design Renew Determine Evaluate
