本文介绍了一种新的电子表格工具，采用高中或大学水平的物理教师谁使用共同的评估在教学前/教学后的模式，以诊断学生的学习和教学效果。电子表格创建一个简单的矩阵，该矩阵标识在诊断考试的每个问题上选择每个可能的测试前/测试后答案组合的学生的百分比。利用对错误答案选择的质量的分析，可以将答案选择从最差到最好排序（即，正确），从而产生“过渡矩阵”，可以提供更深入的洞察学生的学习和教学方法的成功或失败比传统的分析，采用二分法评分。
This paper introduces a new spreadsheet tool for adoption by high school or college-level physics teachers who use common assessments in a pre-instruction/post-instruction mode to diagnose student learning and teaching effectiveness. The spreadsheet creates a simple matrix that identifies the percentage of students who select each possible pre-/post-test answer combination on each question of the diagnostic exam. Leveraging analysis of the quality of the incorrect answer choices, one can order the answer choices from worst to best (i.e., correct), resulting in “transition matrices” that can provide deeper insight into student learning and the success or failure of the pedagogical approach than traditional analyses that employ dichotomous scoring.
