Some instructors may have concerns about providing chemistry content as part of the assessment.However, this measurement approach is not intended to measure student understanding in either of the disciplines, but rather students’ skill in leveraging their knowledge from one discipline to figure out new knowledge in the other (we administered the two instruments after physics instruction but before any relevant chemistry instruction).

06 February 2022 - 00:00 By Todd Haskell The world is watching Russia’s pattern of unprovoked aggression toward Ukraine. Russia’s actions are a threat not only to Ukraine but also to principles that go to the heart of peace and security in Africa and around the world: that one country cannot change the borders of another by force or dictate the terms of another country’s foreign policy or forbid another country from choosing its own alliances. Our aims as the US are simple.

Abstract The structure of many science programs at the college level assumes that students are able to draw on and integrate ideas from multiple disciplinary contexts. However, most assessment tools focus on learning in the context of a single discipline. We describe the development and validation of an instrument to measure how well students are able to combine energy ideas from different disciplines into a coherent understanding of a phenomenon.
