  1. Preliminary Results of Audience Response System Use For Conceptest Evaluation in Large-Lecture Introductory Geology Classes Ann E Holmes Univ. of Tennessee, Chattanooga

  2. Acknowledgments • Research Funded by NSF-CCLI Grant #0716290 • Lead colleagues David Steer, Julie Libarkin - University of Akron • Other collaborators • Arizona State University – Steve Semken • California State University, Fullerton - ? • Community College of Rhode Island - Kortz • University of North Carolina, Charlotte - Jake Armour

  3. What are Conceptests? • Multiple-choice questions used to: • Explore depth of student understanding • Provide timely feedback for students and instructors • Facilitate peer instruction and just-in-time teaching • Utilize Bloom’s Learning Domains • Analysis • Synthesis • Evaluation • Knowledge • Understanding • Application

  4. Where Can I Find Conceptests? • Available online: http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/conceptests/index.html

  5. Large-lecture Intro Physical Geology Classes at UTC • Semester class • 80-120 students in theatre-style room • Meets 2 times/week for 1 hr 15 min. • 3 exams & a final (all scantron) • Multiple choice with 10 pt essay

  6. i>clicker use • engages students • provides anonymity • active learning • provides practice answering questions before the exam • instructor knows if material needs more discussion http://www.colorado.edu/CNS/cuclickers/instructors/images/pcinstall_08_V2.jpg

  7. Suggestions for i>clicker use • Provide reward points • Keep reward small (mine is 2 pts maximum per session) • Use similar conceptest questions on exams https://blackboard.uic.edu/bbcswebdav/users/garay/talks/Reach2009/reach20095.html
