Improving Students' Understanding of Quantum Measurement. II. Development of Research-Based Learning Tools
Zhu, Guangtian; Singh, Chandralekha
Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, v8 n1 p010118-1-010118-13 Jan-Jun 2012
We describe the development and implementation of research-based learning tools such as the Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorials and peer-instruction tools to reduce students' common difficulties with issues related to measurement in quantum mechanics. A preliminary evaluation shows that these learning tools are effective in improving students' understanding of concepts related to quantum measurement. (Contains 9 figures and 3 tables.)
