论文摘要
我们为基于能力的基于微积分的介绍性物理学提供了一个模型，该模型鼓励学生获得所有课程内容的熟练程度。通过允许学生在整个学期中不断提高技能和内容的熟练程度，这种形成性的评分系统旨在创建更灵活的学习环境，以更好地适应学生的时间表和需求。在实施该评分系统后，所有学生在表现方面都表现出改善，但发现女性和第一代学生的收益最大，他们都经常在科学和工程学位课程中构成保留风险。
We present a model for competency-based grading for calculus-based introductory physics that encourages students to obtain proficiency with all course content. By allowing students to continually improve their proficiency with skills and content throughout the semester, this formative grading system is designed to create a more flexible learning environment that better accommodates the varying schedules and needs of students. While all students show improvement in their performance following the implementation of this grading system, the largest gains were found for women and first generation students, both of whom often pose a retention risk in science and engineering degree programs.
