The Flight Physics Concept Inventory: Development of a research-based assessment instrument to enhance learning and teaching.
PhD thesis, Universität zu Köln.
Abstract
This work frames the first three publications around the development of the Flight Physics
Concept Inventory (FliP-CoIn), and elaborates on many aspects in more detail. FliP-CoIn is a
multiple-choice conceptual assessment instrument for improving fluid dynamics learning and
teaching. I give insights into why and how FliP-CoIn was developed and how it is best used
for improving conceptual learning. Further, this work presents evidence for several dimensions
of FliP-CoIn’s validity and reliability. Finally, I discuss key insights from the development
process, the data analysis, and give recommendations for future research.

| Dieses Werk rahmt die drei bisherigen Publikationen zur Entwicklung des Flight Physics
Concept Inventory (FliP-CoIn) und beleuchtet viele Aspekte in größerer Tiefe. FliP-CoIn ist
ein fachdidaktischer Konzepttest im Multiple-Choice-Format zur Verbesserung der Lehre und
des Lernens im Bereich der Fluiddynamik. Ich gebe detaillierte Einblicke warum und wie FliP-
CoIn entwickelt wurde und wie es den besten Nutzen entfaltet bei der Verbesserung im Bereich
des konzeptuellen Lernens. Zudem präsentiert dieses Werk Evidenzen für verschiedene
Dimensionen der Validität und Reliabilität von FliP-CoIn. Zum Schluss werden
Schlüsselerkenntnisse aus dem Entwicklungsprozess und der Datenanalyse diskutiert sowie
Empfehlungen für zukünftige Forschung gegeben.
