Description

Multiple choice questions are a common teaching and evaluation tool in large-enrolment introductory physics classes across North-American universities. Unfortunately, they do not provide students with the opportunity to formulate their own ideas. Case studies developed for this project allow the students to collaborate on more open-ended scenarios that cover the most fundamental concepts of a first-year physics curriculum. Examples of the case studies activities will be demonstrated. The effect of the case studies intervention on students’ conceptual learning and effectiveness evaluation methodology will be discussed.
