Epistemic Analysis of Common Exam Questions Across Course Formats

classic learning environment where students receive the majority of their instruction straight from the board. Inquiry Based- (IQB) -(Modeling & ISLE) - with 91 students total, are studio classroom learning environments where students engage in white boarding sessions, small group activities. Lecture+lab+Recitation- (LLR) - with 117 students (one section), takes half the lecture time of the LL and uses it for recitation sections run by teaching assistants and learning assistants. Epistemic Forms[1] - how knowledge can be organized - how concepts can be learned Generated by students when creating their answer Epistemic Games[2] – rules and strategies that guide inquiry - Forms are created via games • Applied epistemic games to question written responses • Playing 50% of a game equated game played • Inter-rater reliability (two graders) tested on 30 randomly selected students from pool • Correlation reported an R value of 0.93 HHMI AWARD • Epistemic games can be applied to student written responses • LLR students showed evidence of single game usage between games 5 & 6 • IQB students have greatest facility with multiple games dominance in games 2 & 6 • LL students show facility with multiple games with heavy usage of game 5 • Facility with multiple games may indicate expertise (future work pending) The student now attached an object of unknown mass m to the cord and holds the object adjacent to the point at which the top of the cord is tied to the rod, as represented above. When the object is released from rest, it falls 1.5 m before stopping and turning around. Assume that air resistance is negligible. Question: Calculate the value of the unknown mass m of the object.
