Effectiveness of group interaction on conceptual standardized test performance

Physics Education 2016-02-19 v2

Abstract

We analyze the effectiveness of working in pairs on the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism test in a calculus-based introductory physics course. The group performance shows large normalized gain and evidence for co-construction. We discuss the effect of pairing students with different individual achievements.
