Conceptual gaps in circuits textbooks / Sangam, Deepika in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 58 N° 3 (Août 2015) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 58 N° 3 (Août 2015) . - pp. 194 - 202 Titre : Conceptual gaps in circuits textbooks : a comparative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sangam, Deepika, Auteur ; Jesiek, Brent K., Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp. 194 - 202 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Circuit  theory  Conceptual  understanding  Electrical  engineering  education  Misconceptions  Textbooks Résumé : Many university-level electrical engineering courses continue to use textbooks as curriculum scaffolds, prescribed texts, and/or reference volumes. Textbook reliance is even more pronounced in courses that teach foundational principles of the discipline, such as introductory circuit theory. This paper reports on the conceptual coverage of introductory electric circuit theory as presented in textbooks. More specifically, a comparative study of six texts was performed using an analytic framework based on prior research on conceptual understanding and organized around multiple criteria. The ideas of conceptual framework and conceptual links are used to identify potential conceptual gaps in each textbook. This analysis reveals that the majority of the books are missing many important conceptual features. Findings from this study can be beneficial for authors as they develop new editions of books, and for instructors as they evaluate and select texts for use in their courses. This study can also inform ongoing efforts to both develop more effective instructional materials and investigate how textbooks affect conceptual understanding.
