Why Study Scientific Reasoning? 2 Scientific Reasoning - Tools that transform observations and ideas into knowledge Natural phenomena as seen by novice learners of science Natural phenomena as seen by skilled science practioners

Assessments used in Study Lawson Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning Force Concept Inventory

John Burroughs School –Private school, select admission –Algebra-trig based regular physics (39 juniors) Guerin Catholic High School –Private school, open enrollment –Honors physics students (42 seniors) Two High Schools in Study 4

Lawson (pre instruction)-FCI (post instruction) Correlations BurroughsGuerin Total Lawson Score Conservation Proportion Control Variable Probability Correlation Hypothesis Testing.41.61

Additional Correlations for Guerin HS 6

Lawson Correlation to Prior Math & Science Courses Correlations between prior math and science courses taken and Lawson for grades 9-12 [n = 265 students at Guerin High School] MathScience Total Lawson Score Conservation Proportion Control Variable Probability Correlation Hypothesis Testing.65.37

Summary and Future Work Physics success isn’t just about teaching content -- success is linked to student scientific reasoning skills. Scientific reasoning ability linked to prior math and science instruction Lawson as a pre-test identifies students needing scientific reasoning skill development. Identify instructional techniques that strengthen SR skills and weaken Lawson-FCI correlation. Measure with Lawson as a pre and post-test. Kathy Koenig:
