Creating the digital logic concept inventory
Proceedings of the 41st ACM technical symposium on Computer science education, 2010•dl.acm.org
A concept inventory (CI) is a standardized assessment tool that evaluates how well a
student's conceptual framework matches the accepted conceptual framework of a discipline.
In this paper, we present our process in creating and evaluating the alpha version of a CI to
assess student understanding of digital logic. We have checked the validity and reliability of
the CI through an alpha administration, follow-up interviews with students, analysis of
administration results, and expert feedback. So far the feedback on the digital logic concept …
