The Omaha Assessment of Process in Problem-Solving, or O-APPS, is a rubric for the assessment of problem-solving process in introductory physics courses. In contrast to other work on problem-solving assessment for use in research and curriculum development, this rubric was specifically designed for instructor use in the assignment of grades and for student use as a scaffold. The current rubric is in its sixth iteration, having undergone validity and reliability testing over multiple years.
After multiple years of iterations and validation/reliability measurements, the sixth version is complete. This version is the final version, with discussion on the development, reliability, and validity forthcoming.
The following poster presented at the 2018 Physics Education Research Conference describes the development and validation for the first two versions of the O-APPS.
