Rationale
The motivation behind the development of this inventory stemmed from the desire to adequately assess the misconceptions holding students back in BIOL 112 (Unicellular Life) and BIOL 200 (Fundamentals of Cell Biology), two key first and second year undergraduate courses taught at UBC.
Development Timeframe
After following the development protocol from open-ended student interviews, question development, student validation and, ultimately, expert validation, this inventory is ready for use. The inventory has been deployed in two large courses at UBC (two sections of a second-year course, and three sections of a first-year course), and data have been analyzed. A related publication is in the works.
