- Student thinking
Studied Using:
- Student interviews
- Expert review
- Appropriate statistical analysis
Research Conducted:
- At multiple institutions
- By multiple research groups
- Peer-reviewed publication
The multiple-choice questions on the ECCE were based on research on open-ended questions about circuits published in the literature as well as the author’s personal experience with teaching circuits topics. The ECCE has been given to over 100 students at two universities, and the results published in one peer-reviewed article.
