q2 i? The proportion of questions per category differed markedly by simulation: the inductance calculator drew 100% CONGRUOUS responses, while the moving-charge and quantum harmonic oscillator simulations drew 40% INCONGRUOUS responses. → F.V. Kowalski and S.E. Kowalski 2013

q2 · i? · design · r2

Results for the inductance calculator simulation: 35 comments from 35 students, all CONGRUOUS, with 78% mentioning the geometry-inductance relationship. Table I shows Incongruous at 40% for Simulations B and D, versus 0% for the calculator.

"The question “What did you learn in using the calculator?” elicited 35 comments from the 35 students present; 100% of the responses submitted fall into the CONGRUOUS categor y."
