• Measuring Critical Thinking in Physics: Development and Validation of a Critical Thinking Test in Electricity and Magnetism (2016, methodology): “As suggested by Adams and Wieman (2011), efforts were made to put the interviewees in Bauthentic test-taking mode^ (p. 14), with a great caution not to intervene with students’ explanation.”
• The Use of Cronbach’s Alpha When Developing and Reporting Research Instruments in Science Education (2017, background): “Given that some authors choose to report cross-scale results, readers should be aware that the Cronbach alpha statistic is most valuable in relation to single-construct scales and less informative when reported for instruments measuring several constructs at once (Adams & Wieman, 2010).”
• Identifying 21st Century STEM Competencies Using Workplace Data (2015, background): “The important role of education in promoting real-world problem solving skills has been addressed in studies of physics, mathematics, business, and engineering education (Ogilvie 2009; Adams and Wieman 2011; Fortus 2009; Robinson 2008; Shakerin 2006).”
• Development and Assessment of A Diagnostic Tool to Identify Organic Chemistry Students’ Alternative Conceptions Related to Acid Strength (2012, methodology): “ACID I was assessed using psychometrics commonly reported in the literature (Adams & Wieman, 2011 ; Ding & Beichner, 2009 ), relying primarily on elements from classical test theory: reliability (Cronbach's α), item difficulty ( p ), item discrimination ( D ), and point biserial coefficients ( r ”
