POSTER

Abstract

In an effort to inform instruction and meet the varying needs of our students, the University of Arkansas Department of Physics and College of Education utilize many formal and informal assessments. The objective is to measure student achievement in physics and attitudes and beliefs concerning the nature of math and science. This poster will attempt to show the various assessment strategies that are currently utilized in the physics reform courses and teacher education courses at the University of Arkansas.
