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…

Fiedler, Kristin; Kubsch, Marcus; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Science education research has repeatedly revealed students' problems with understanding the energy concept, in particular, their understanding of potential energy. Newer research suggests that teaching students fields as a means to store potential energy may promote a more consistent understanding of the energy concept. Yet, it is presently…

Dahlkemper, Merten Nikolay; Lahme, Simon Zacharias; Klein, Pascal – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
This study aimed at evaluating how students perceive the linguistic quality and scientific accuracy of ChatGPT responses to physics comprehension questions. A total of 102 first- and second-year physics students were confronted with three questions of progressing difficulty from introductory mechanics (rolling motion, waves, and fluid dynamics).…

Karel Kok; Burkhard Priemer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Students at all levels of education experience difficulties with the concepts of measurement uncertainties. One task that includes concepts of measurement uncertainties is a data comparison problem where students decide whether two datasets are in agreement or not--an authentic scientific practice. To aid students with these concepts and tasks,…

The recent advancement of large language models presents numerous opportunities for teaching and learning. Despite widespread public debate regarding the use of large language models, empirical research on their opportunities and risks in education remains limited. In this work, we demonstrate the qualities and shortcomings of using ChatGPT 3.5…

Sebastian Becker; Lynn Knippertz; Stefan Ruzika; Jochen Kuhn – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Linear functions are an essential part of school and university education. Nevertheless, this topic is challenging for many students--especially in STEM topics. In this article, we contribute to the understanding of learning difficulties in the context of mathematical and physical problems. Here, we present the results of an eye-tracking study on…

Fabian Kieser; Peter Wulff; Jochen Kuhn; Stefan Küchemann – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Generative AI technologies such as large language models show novel potential to enhance educational research. For example, generative large language models were shown to be capable of solving quantitative reasoning tasks in physics and concept tests such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI). Given the importance of such concept inventories for…

Physics lab courses permanently undergo transformations, in recent times especially to adapt to the emergence of new digital technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic in which digital technologies facilitated distance learning. Since these transformations often occur within individual institutions, it is useful to get an overview of these…

Philipp Bitzenbauer; Sarah Navarrete; Fabian Hennig; Malte S. Ubben; Joaquin M. Veith – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Research in astronomy education has uncovered that many learners possess limited and fragmented understanding of stars. The corresponding misconceptions manifest in various areas such as star formation, size, the relationship between stars and planets, and their position in space and have been shown to persist across different age groups and…

Teichmann, E.; Lewandowski, H. J.; Alemani, M. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
There is a large variety of goals instructors have for laboratory courses, with different courses focusing on different subsets of goals. An often implicit, but crucial, goal is to develop students' attitudes, views, and expectations about experimental physics to align with practicing experimental physicists. The assessment of laboratory courses…

Molz, Alexander; Kuhn, Jochen; Müller, Andreas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Affective and cognitive outcomes of science teaching in schools may be enhanced by science outreach labs (SOLs). Particularly interesting is whether and how to connect SOL visits to in-school science learning. Recent studies--among others, in this journal--have confirmed SOLs' positive affective effects. However, research remains inconclusive…

Langendorf, Ronja; Schneider, Susanne; Klein, Pascal – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) is a fundamental representation in stellar physics. It contains information about key properties of stars and allows inferences about stellar evolution. The use of the HRD is an important disciplinary activity in astrophysics. For example, it is particularly important to have a graphical understanding of the…

Wörner, Salome; Becker, Sebastian; Küchemann, Stefan; Scheiter, Katharina; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Optics is a core field in the curricula of secondary physics education. In this study, we present the development and validation of a test instrument in the field of optics, the ray optics in converging lenses concept inventory (ROC-CI). It was developed for and validated with middle school students, but can also be adapted for the use in higher…

Ivanjek, L.; Klein, P.; Geyer, M.-A.; Küchemann, S.; Jelicic, K.; Dahlkemper, M. N.; Susac, A. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
To investigate how physics students perceived the sudden shift to online learning at the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, 18 semistructured interviews were conducted with university students in Austria, Croatia, and Germany. Based on the interviews, a questionnaire was developed and data from N ¼ 578 physics students from five universities in…

Eye tracking enables the reconstruction of eye movements and thus the analysis of visual information selection and integration processes during problem solving. In this way, learner-specific difficulties can be identified and problem-solving process can be adapted accordingly. For such an adaptation, the prediction of response behavior plays a…
