The evaluation of a research-based curriculum for teaching measurements in the first year physics laboratory

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A new interactive introductory physics laboratory course, based on the ISO-recommended probabilistic interpretation of measurement and uncertainty has been developed. The course was piloted with first year physics students at the University of Cape Town in 2003. The present work evaluates this course.
