Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Force Concept Inventory (FCI) is a widely used assessment test to probe student conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics. In order to analyze the systematic error of the FCI, we surveyed students at 16 (in total) universities in Japan and the United States. The total number of survey responses was 2226. As the main analysis, we calculated the sum of the systematic errors due to the false positives from Q.5, Q.6, Q.7, and Q.16 of the FCI. Then, we estimated a minimum value for the systematic error due to false positives on the entire FCI. We find that the sum of the false positives from Q.5, Q.6, Q.7, and Q.16 is about 10% of the FCI score of a mid-level student.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Force Concept Inventory(FCI)の系統的誤差を求めようとする本研究の試みは,国外を含めて前例がなく,世界的に独創的なアプローチである。本研究の結果,FCIの1つの系統的誤差の値が部分的に明らかになったことから,従来の統計的誤差の分析と合わせ,学習成果の分析をより精密に行うための一歩を踏み出すことができた。これにより,物理教育研究の手法が一般的な自然科学研究の手法にまた一歩近づくことになり,ひいては科学教育分野の信用を高めることが期待できる。本研究の成果は,精密な測定が可能なテストの開発において役に立つ可能性がある。
