Description
Our ambition is to improve physics courses at the University of Latvia by transforming the lab works, to focus on practical skills and engage students in experiments. To assess Latvian students' perceptions of experimental physics and monitor changes during the transformation, we utilised the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (E-CLASS) instrument with groups of bachelor and master students. Preliminary findings revealed the baseline of students' attitudes and demonstrate the diverse impact lab instructions can have on them. Characteristic differences for group scores emerged in individual survey questions, highlighting the importance of instructional design for achieving the intended learning goals.
