A measurement instrument for establishing the algebraic skills of engineering students on a Differential Calculus Course in engineering
Wendolyn Aguilar, Maximiliano de las Fuentes, Araceli Justo and Ana Dolores Martínez
A highly reliable algebraic skill measurement instrument with content and approach validity was developed. Its content focusses on the algebraic skills engineering students require to successfully follow a Differential Calculus Course. A team of 10 teachers, each with minimum of a master’s degree and teaching experience in differential calculus, participated in the design of this instrument. The measurement instrument is a large-scale multiple-choice criteria test comprising 25 test items. Its quality is described and analysed on the basis of
