SURVEY Physics on-line homework
Survey of physics students to determine attitudes, beliefs, and opinions about doing computer-based homework versus traditional textbook based homework.
|
|
|
- I think using a textbook is easier and less frustrating than using a computer for science homework.
|
- In general I enjoy school.
|
- I would rather do computer-based homework than homework from a textbook or worksheets.
|
- Write your ideas, feelings, or suggestions about using computers and the Internet for doing homework.
|
- I consider my level of competence with computers to be:
|
- I think doing homework in high school is important, since almost all work done in college is done outside of class time.
|
- I have easy access to computers with Internet access outside of class time.
|
- I would rather do homework out of a book than from a computer.
|
- Using computers makes science more interesting.
|
- Doing the on-line module for Projectiles in physics really helped me understand the concepts and problems.
|
- I am not likely to do assignments if they are computer-based.
|
- Getting immediate feedback when doing practice problems on the computer helps me learn more than looking at answers in a textbook.
|
- I think pictures and diagrams in a textbook are just as helpful as pictures and animations on the computer for learning science.
|
- I am not likeyly to do reading assignments in a textbook.
|
- If given time in class to work on physics problems, I usually stay on task and use my time to work with my classmates on the assignment.
|
- I do not think students should have homework, since many of us are busy, have jobs after school, have distractions at home, etc.
|
- I think computer-based instruction should be used a lot more than it is in school.
|
- I have a computer with Internet access at home.
|
- My overall grade average in school is:
|
- In general, I believe the more time I spend on homework outside of class, the better my understanding and the higher my grade in science.
|
- If all my science homework was on-line, I think I would do much better in science.
|
- I think doing homework is important, since that is the only time I can focus away from distractions at school.
|
- I plan to go into a science related field.
|
- When I finally sit down to do them, I often enjoy working physics problems at home, since they are like solving puzzles.
|
- I would not mind doing homework as much if it were on-line.
|
- In general, I enjoy science classes.
|
- I plan to go into a field where computers are used a great deal.
|
- In my physics class I believe I would have the following overall grade average if all my homework and practice problems had been on-line since the beginning of the year:
|
- In general, I do not enjoy using computers for academics.
|
- In my physics class I have the following overall grade average so far:
|
- I am more likely to sit down and spend time using a computer for assignments than I am to sit down and spend time using a textbook for assignments.
