Ebba Koerfer; Bor Gregorcic – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Statistical mechanics has received limited attention in physics education research and remains a relatively underrepresented topic even in research on upper-division physics courses. The purpose of this study was to explore potential challenges that physics students encounter when they solve statistical mechanics problems in groups. Adopting a…

Den Auwer, Christophe; Bayle, Simon; Beccia, Maria Rosa; Bosio, Sandra; Creff, Gaëlle; Jeanson, Aurélie; Michel, Hervé; Pitiot, Christophe; Zurita, Cyril – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of their third-year general chemistry program, students at the University of the Côte d'Azur are taught the basics of radioactivity. The view that third-year university students have of the periodic Table of the Elements is often reduced because it ignores the vast majority of isotopes. As part of this program, a practicum devoted to the…

Elevator Speech: Students' Discussions of Forces and Acceleration by Means of a Scale in an Elevator
Johansen, Astrid; Bungum, Berit – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Students' challenges in learning mechanics are well documented from test situations, and group discussions are considered a fruitful way to meet these challenges. In this paper, we present a study from an authentic teaching setting where upper secondary students in groups solve the task of calculating the acceleration of an elevator by means of a…

Bahtaji, Michael Allan A. – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Exploring students' physics conceptions, science engagement and misconceptions in physics together with their association to certain variables (gender, educational background, and program of study) are essential in improving physics teaching and learning. However, few studies have been conducted to explore these three measures and almost none…

Ioannis Vlachos; Georgios Stylos; Konstantinos T. Kotsis – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The physics' subject aims to provide the student with a broad understanding of the physical phenomena that occur around them every day and introduce them to the scientific search. The use of experiments in the teaching of the subject contributes to the understanding of these phenomena, the development of skills and critical thinking and has many…

Cedric Linder; Jesper Bruun; Arvid Pohl; Burkhard Priemer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Social semiotic discussions about the role played by representations in effective teaching and learning in areas such as physics have led to theoretical proposals that have a strong common thread: in order to acquire an appropriate understanding of a particular object of learning, access to the disciplinary relevance aspects in the representations…

Hughes, Stephen; Beard, Luke; Platten, Ben – Physics Education, 2021
Siphons have been used since ancient times to transport water between two points over an intervening barrier higher than the water source. This paper describes a practical application of a siphon to provide fresh water to a remote island community in the Solomon Islands. The siphon was constructed from 25 mm diameter blue line polyethylene pipe.…

Žák, Vojtech; Kolár, Petr – Science Education, 2023
This paper explores the views of leading Czech physicists regarding a physics curriculum for upper secondary schools. This paper presents the first part of an effort to define starting points for a new physics curriculum in Czechia (subsequent phases would analyze the opinions of other scientists, education experts, and physics teachers regarding…

Juan Fischer; Margaret Bearman; David Boud; Joanna Tai – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
Summative assessment is often considered a motivator that drives students' learning. Higher education has a responsibility in promoting lifelong learning and assessment plays an important role in supporting students' capability to make evaluative judgements about their work and that of others. However, as research often focuses on formal…

L. Velazquez; B. Atenas; J. C. Castro Palacio – Studies in Higher Education, 2024
We propose an adaptive methodology for the curricular redesign based on the performance indicators of the student progression observed after a follow-up period. The feasibility of adopting the same approach should be thoroughly studied to assess its compatibility with institutions and countries that employ an academic credit system based on…

Tong, Dazhen; Liu, Jia; Sun, Yechao; Liu, Qiaoyi; Zhang, Xiangqun; Pan, Sudong; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Work and mechanical energy is a fundamental topic in introductory physics. Studies in existing literature have shown that students have difficulties in understanding work and mechanical energy, particularly the topic of work-energy theorem. To study students' knowledge integration in learning work and mechanical energy, a conceptual framework…

Ma, Xin; Zhang, Yin; Luo, Xingkai – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Although there is an increasing recognition of the importance of critical thinking in science education across the world, the relevant research literature is extremely thin. There is an urgent need to generate more empirical evidence. Purpose: We examined two essential issues concerning critical thinking (the relationship between…

Jeanne Kriek; Ashenafi Legesse – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
Students often face difficulties to understand Archimedes' principle and to apply it in everyday life. It is therefore necessary to explore a different teaching approach that addresses students' visual and auditory senses in a unique manner. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using multiple representations on undergraduate…

Ellen Watson; Gregory Thomas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] Epistemic beliefs about physics are most often investigated using quantitative instruments that reflect binary conceptualizations of those beliefs. This study reports from a qualitative study which used continua to represent the epistemic beliefs…

Dündar-Coecke, Selma – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2021
The purpose of this study is to investigate physicists' views about the possible impacts of recent developments in quantum physics on educational implementations, particularly on science learning. Throughout the research a mixed-methods strategy was used. The data were collected from the physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear…
