可靠和有效的评估介绍物理学一直在推动课程和教学改革，导致改善学生的学习。作为努力的一部分，以系统地提高我们的学士级经典力学和数学方法课程（CM 1）在CU博尔德，我们已经开发了一个工具，以评估学生学习CM 1概念在上师。科罗拉多经典力学/数学方法仪器（CCMI）建立在教师共识的学习目标和学生困难的系统观察。结果是一个9个问题的开放式后测试，探讨学生学习的两个学期的经典力学/数学方法序列的前半部分。在本文中，我们描述了这个仪器的设计和开发，它的验证，并在类在CU博尔德和其他地方的测量。
Reliable and validated assessments of introductory physics have been instrumental in driving curricular and pedagogical reforms that lead to improved student learning. As part of an effort to systematically improve our sophomore-level Classical Mechanics and Math Methods course (CM 1) at CU Boulder, we have developed a tool to assess student learning of CM 1 concepts in the upper-division. The Colorado Classical Mechanics/Math Methods Instrument (CCMI) builds on faculty consensus learning goals and systematic observations of student difficulties. The result is a 9-question open-ended post-test that probes student learning in the first half of a two-semester classical mechanics / math methods sequence. In this paper, we describe the design and development of this instrument, its validation, and measurements made in classes at CU Boulder and elsewhere.
