PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF A STATICS CONCEPT INVENTORY AND ITS USE AS A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TOOL Paul S. Steif Department of Mechanical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213AbstractA multiple choice test, the Statics Concept Inventory, is used to measure conceptual progressof students in Statics. This paper reports on detailed comparisons of the results of this test tostudent performance on class examinations. Reasonably strong correlations are foundbetween concept-specific sub-scores in the inventory and scores on related types ofexamination problems or solution errors involving similar concepts. With these findings weset the
