Evaluation & Assessment (EVAL)

Oral presentation

The pressures and responsibilities students face inside and outside the classroom can result in a distribution of pathways and rates required by students to achieve proficiency with course content. Our team has sought to better accommodate this diversity of student experience by implementing a standards-based grading system in our introductory physics courses. We report here our preliminary...

Evaluation & Assessment (EVAL)

Oral presentation

In this work we want to improve the level of learning for the subject of a ball bouncing on flat ground. We have a group of 15 engineering students. By applying an active learning methodology supported with simulations, we get a better interest in the subject, since the behavior of the phenomenon is exposed, and the initial conditions can be controlled. We show the Hake factor obtained with...

Evaluation & Assessment (EVAL)

Oral presentation

Research in physics education has underscored the importance of making school laboratory activities more engaging and student-centered. The ADELANTE (Adopting Digitally-Enhanced Laboratories in a Network of Teachers) Italian project seeks to promote an innovative approach in secondary school physics labs by integrating digital tools—specifically Arduino microcontrollers and smartphones—within...
