Tools for identifying courses that support development of expertlike physics attitudes

Educators and researchers often use research-based assessments before and after instruction to measure the efficacy of courses. Limited resources exist for interpreting assessment results, particularly for attitudinal surveys. We present analyses and representations created with data from 192 introd...

description	Educators and researchers often use research-based assessments before and after instruction to measure the efficacy of courses. Limited resources exist for interpreting assessment results, particularly for attitudinal surveys.

The provided data came from the online Learning About STEM Student Outcomes platform and from the scientific literature.
