Barth-Cohen, Lauren A.; Braden, Sarah K.; Young, Tamara G.; Gailey, Sara – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Research in undergraduate physics and in K-12 science education has demonstrated challenges and successes in facilitating student engagement with reasoning practices associated with professional physicists. Here we focus on one important dimension of physics reasoning, using evidence to revise models. While this topic has been explored at the…

Colantonio, Arturo; Marzoli, Irene; Puddu, Emanuella; Bardelli, Sandro; Fulco, Maria Teresa; Galano, Silvia; Terranegra, Luciano; Testa, Italo – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
We describe how young students situate themselves with respect to astronomy through an identity framework that features four dimensions: interest, utility value, confidence, and conceptual knowledge. Overall, about 900 Italian students, from 5th to 9th grade (9-14 years old), were involved in the study. We tested our model using confirmatory…

Yonai, Ella; Blonder, Ron – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
The goal of this research is to provide a rich set of connections between two fields: (i) Nanoscale science and technology (NST) and (ii) topics from a common middle school physics curriculum. NST is emerging as one of the most promising new fields of the 21st century, which is one of the many arguments for including NST topics in secondary…

Scheid, Jochen; Müller, Andreas; Hettmannsperger, Rosa; Schnotz, Wolfgang – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Proper understanding of and learning from physics phenomena and experiments requires--among other competencies--flexible and coherent use of multiple representations (MRs). These can include everything from the "enactive" or "operational" manipulation of the experimental devices and materials to the most abstract level of a…

Bendinelli, Anthony J.; Marder, M. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
We use visualization to find patterns in educational data. We represent student scores from high-stakes exams as flow vectors in fluids, define two types of streamlines and trajectories, and show that differences between streamlines and trajectories are due to regression to the mean. This issue is significant because it determines how quickly…

Loverude, Michael E.; Gonzalez, Barbara L.; Nanes, Roger – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
We describe an inquiry-based course in physics and chemistry for preservice K-8 teachers developed at California State University Fullerton. The course is one of three developed primarily to enhance the science content understanding of prospective teachers. The course incorporates a number of innovative instructional strategies and is somewhat…
