Measuring innovation effectiveness by means of a conceptual test of electricity and magnetism

Abstract

[EN] For this work, we report on the results of the BEMA assessment for students of Electricity courses of Engineering Degrees taught at the Higher Technical School of Design Engineering (ETSED) Universitat Politécnica de Valéncia (UPV). The BEMA pre-test and post-test assessment was delivered at the beginning and at the end of the course to students of the Degrees on Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automation (DEEIA) and Aerospace Engineering (DAE). The gain in the performance of BEMA test was analysed for both curricula and for three categories: electrostatics, dc current circuits and magnetostatics. The results show better results for DAE curriculum in the pre-test, but a lower gain in the post-test. The highest gain is obtained in magnetostatics, and no influence of the use of screencast is appreciated.
