Education, 2017 Use of Adaptive Questions and Electronic Pooling to Promote Mastery of Fundamental Thermal Science ConceptsAbstractPersonal student response systems have been used in large classes which allows instructors topropose questions during a lecture and gain feedback on student understanding of the material.Electronic pooling is helpful in measuring the understanding of the fundamental concepts inchallenging thermal science courses like thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics.Focused true/false and multiple choice questions have been used. Because the feedback is fromall respondents and nearly instantaneous, it has been found that adaptive questions are a good wayto focus instruction in the areas of
