Research indicates thatengineering and technology integration in K-12 improve students’ content understandingand skill development, understanding of
engineering and development of an interest in STEM topics in K-12 students. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Assessing the Impact of Educational Factors on Conceptual Understanding of Geotechnical Engineering TopicsIntroductionA commonly accepted assessment instrument used for both diagnostic and formative purposes isthe concept inventory [1], [2], which refers to any kind of research-based assessment techniquethat measures conceptual understanding [1], [3]. The usage of concept inventories helpsinstructors measure the effectiveness of their teaching [1], [3] and determines if students have thecorrect understanding of important concepts on a topic.
