Designing and developing Likert items that capture mathematical problem solving
Page: 1575
The Mathematical Problem Solving Item Development Project is designing and developingLikert items that capture students’ capacity in mathematical problem solving (MPS). The project,now in year two, continues to refine items that capture aspects of MPS. The refinement processincluded piloting items on over 1000 students in College Algebra and Calculus, hour-long think-aloud interviews with 26 students, and review by experts. The goal of this poster presentation isto provide information about the item development and design and gather feedback andsuggestions on further design and development.Key words
