Testing Physics Achievement: Trends Over Time and Place
DOI: 10.1063/1.881272
A physicist concerned with pre‐college physics curriculums may inquire how students in the United States today compare not only with those in the past, but also with those in other countries. He or she may also wonder how changes in high school and college physics curriculums affect testing methods and students’ performance on standardized tests. Data from national physics testing programs sponsored by the College Board and the National Assessment of Educational Progress and from two international assessments of science achievement provide some insight into the answers to these questions.
