Preliminary practice in developing optical concept inventory
Optics is an important branch of college physics,which involves studies on the properties and phe-nomena of light,including knowledge of light propagation,refraction,reflection,interference,diffraction,polari-zation,etc.In the Fundamental physics course,optics is compulsory and students'mastery of optics concepts can effect the quality of physics teaching some degree.An optics concept inventory is first developed and then distribu-ted online to students in a top lies university.Data is collected and analysed,and accordingly assessment of the teaching and learning is done.Besides,the preliminary practice in developing the inventory is evaluated in detail.
