Abstract
This poster presents the development of an assessment tool designed to measure undergraduate students' conceptual understanding of homeostasis. The homeostasis concept inventory (HCI) is intended primarily for undergraduate-level physiology and anatomy & physiology courses in life science departments. The HCI can be used for several ways, to assess students' performance, to reveal and address misconceptions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning structures. The HCI consists of 20 multiple-choice questions that focus on important sub-concepts and component ideas in our validated homeostasis conceptual framework. These questions have been validated using student interviews, faculty surveys and testing in physiology courses at a variety of institutions including community colleges, liberal arts institutions, comprehensive regional universities and research universities. The HCI is designed to detect some common student misconceptions regarding this critical core concept in physiology. Supported by NSF DUE-1043443.
