Barthelemy, Ramon S.; Henderson, Charles; Grunert, Megan L. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
Physics education research (PER) is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of Ph.D. specialization. To sustain the field of PER, a steady pipeline of talented scholars needs to be developed and supported. One aspect of building this pipeline is understanding how students come to graduate and postdoctoral work in PER and what their career goals…

Taibu, Rex; Rudge, David; Schuster, David – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
The term "weight" has multiple related meanings in both scientific and everyday usage. Even among experts and in textbooks, weight is ambiguously defined as either the gravitational force on an object or operationally as the magnitude of the force an object exerts on a measuring scale. This poses both conceptual and language difficulties…

Wolf, Steven F.; Dougherty, Daniel P.; Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
Since it was first published 30 years ago, the seminal paper of Chi "et al." on expert and novice categorization of introductory problems led to a plethora of follow-up studies within and outside of the area of physics [Cogn. Sci. 5 121 (1981)]. These studies frequently encompass "card-sorting" exercises whereby the…
