Direct linkCampos, Esmeralda; Zuza, Kristina; Guisasola, Jenaro; Zavala, Genaro – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We conducted a study with introductory and upper-division physics students in a Mexican university to learn how students independently recognize the electric field's main characteristics in the electric field lines diagram and as a source or target representation in conversion processes. We used the theory of registers of semiotic representations…

McCulloch, Gary, Ed.; Goodson, Ivor, Ed.; González-Delgado, Mariano, Ed. – Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education, 2019
This book offers a remarkable range of research that emphasises the need to analyse the shaping of curricula under historical, social and political variables. Teachers' life stories, the Cold War as a contextual element that framed curricular transformations in the US and Europe, and the study of trends in education policy at transnational level…

Arkadiy, Leonov – European Journal of Physics, 2009
The problem of obtaining the apparent equation of motion and shape of a moving body from its arbitrary given equation of motion in special relativity is considered. Also the inverse problem of obtaining the body's equation of motion from a known equation of motion of its image is discussed. Some examples of this problem solution are considered. As…

Singer, Susan R.; Nielsen, Natalie R.; Schweingruber, Heidi A. – National Academies Press, 2012
The National Science Foundation funded a synthesis study on the status, contributions, and future direction of discipline-based education research (DBER) in physics, biological sciences, geosciences, and chemistry. DBER combines knowledge of teaching and learning with deep knowledge of discipline-specific science content. It describes the…

Bandyopadhyay, Atanu; Kumar, Arvind – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2010
This work is an attempt to see how physics undergraduates view the basic ideas of general relativity when they are exposed to the topic in a standard introductory course. Since the subject is conceptually and technically difficult, we adopted a "case studies" approach, focusing in depth on about six students who had just finished a one semester…

Zhou, George; Nocente, Norma; Brouwer, Wytze – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 2008
Over the last three decades, many studies have been conducted to identify students' preconceptions on various science topics. It is time now for a synthetic study of preconceptions to enhance our understanding of students' everyday cognition and to benefit our effort in developing effective instructional inventions for conceptual change. Through a…

Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Carr, Martha – Educational Psychology Review, 2008
The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach to research on gender differences in science that uses the work on expertise in science as a framework for understanding gender differences. Because gender differences in achievement and participation in the sciences are largest in physics, the focus of this review is on physics. The nature of…

Bryce, T. G. K.; MacMillan, K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
Researchers and practitioners alike express concerns about the conceptual difficulties associated with the concepts of momentum and kinetic energy currently taught in school physics. This article presents an in-depth analysis of the treatment given to them in 44 published textbooks written for UK secondary school certificate courses. This is set…

Palmer, Robert T., Ed.; Wood, J. Luke, Ed. – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011
"Black Men in College" provides vital information about how to effectively support, retain, and graduate Black male undergraduates. This edited collection centers on the notion that Black male collegians are not a homogenous group; rather, they are representative of rarely acknowledged differences that exist among them. This valuable text suggests…
