HCC INSPIRE Learner-Centered Strategy Active Collaborative Real-World

ConcepTest Where can I start? Real-time diagnostic teaching tool Test for conceptual understanding Foster critical thinking and metacognition Eric Mazur (Harvard, Physics): “You can forget facts, but you cannot forget understanding”

Waves wave = disturbance or oscillation that travels through space and matter http://www.onr.navy.mil/focus/ocean/images/motion/wavediagram.gif

Waves http://thefloatingcork.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cropped-cork.jpg

ConcepTest (NO talking please!) At which location in the diagram below would the waves break closer to the beach? Answer A Answer B Answer C http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/interactive/conctest.html

Now explain WHY At which location in the diagram below would the waves break closer to the beach? Answer A Answer B Answer C http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/interactive/conctest.html

ConcepTest Characteristics Focus on a single concept (not simple fact) Clearly worded Multiple choice Distractors cover commonly held misconceptions Intermediate difficulty (Bloom’s application level) May or may not have a correct answer Used for think-pair-share or small group discussion Involve metacognition (explain WHY)

ConcepTest Use Lasry, N., Mazur, E., & Watkins, J. (2008). Peer instruction: From Harvard to community colleges. American Journal of Physics, 76(11), 1066-69

ConcepTest Dos and Don’ts BEWARE… Students may simply change their answer to whatever was most popular. Don’t let them wait you out either! Never answer your own ConcepTest. Re-visit, re-vote. SO… It’s not about getting it right or wrong, it’s about articulating (and hearing) WHY it is right or WHY it is wrong, or WHY a student agrees or does not agree. STUDENTS must DEFEND their answer. Mistakes = OPPORTUNITIES for learning BEFORE the test.
