Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Massive pretrained language models have garnered attention and controversy due to their ability to generate humanlike responses: Attention due to their frequent indistinguishability from human-generated phraseology and narratives and controversy due to the fact that their convincingly presented arguments and facts are frequently simply false. Just…

Gerd Kortemeyer; Christine Kortemeyer; Wolfgang Bauer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
At large institutions of higher education, students frequently have a choice whether to attend the introductory physics sequence asynchronously online, on-site in a traditional lecture setting, or in a reformed studio setting. In this study, we investigate how these different settings are correlated with measures of self-efficacy, interest in…

Stanley, Bryan; Izadi, Dena; Fracchiolla, Claudia; Hinko, Kathleen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Physicists, physics students, and community members come together and engage with physics content through various forms of informal education programming. Our prior work has shown that the landscape of informal physics programs in the United States has a variety of formats, audience demographics, and content. Informal physics programs have many…

Izadi, Dena; Willison, Julia; Finkelstein, Noah; Fracchiolla, Claudia; Hinko, Kathleen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Informal physics programs bring physicists together with youth and adults from local communities to engage with physics content outside of classroom settings. These public engagement or "physics outreach" programs are a significant endeavor of the physics community; however, we lack a systemic documentation of these efforts, which makes…

Young, Nicholas T.; Tollefson, K.; Zegers, Remco G. T.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
As systematic inequities in higher education and society have been brought to the forefront, graduate programs are interested in increasing the diversity of their applicants and enrollees. Yet, structures in place to evaluate applicants may not support such aims. One potential solution to support those aims is rubricbased holistic review. Starting…

Weller, Daniel P.; Bott, Theodore E.; Caballero, Marcos D.; Irving, Paul W. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Physics classes with computation integrated into the curriculum are a fitting setting for investigating computational thinking. In this paper, we present a framework for exploring this topic in introductory physics courses. The framework, which was developed by reviewing relevant literature and acquiring video data from high school classrooms,…

Hamerski, Paul C.; Irving, Paul W.; McPadden, Daryl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Despite the growing presence of students as partners (SAP) in education research and the overlap of goals with learning assistant (LA) programs, there is little research done on pedagogy- and curriculum-focused student partnerships that involve LAs. LAs have expertise as both teachers and learners, so why not leverage this expertise to improve the…

Robertson, Amy D.; Goodhew, Lisa M.; Scherr, Rachel E.; Heron, Paula R. L. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Existing research identifying common student ideas about forces focuses on students' misunderstandings, misconceptions, and difficulties. In this paper, we characterize student thinking in terms of resources, framing student thinking as continuous with formal physics. Based on our analysis of 2048 written responses to conceptual questions, we…

Prefontaine, Brean; Mullen, Claire; Güven, Jonna Jasmin; Rispler, Caleb; Rethman, Callie; Bergin, Shane D.; Hinko, Kathleen; Fracchiolla, Claudia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Many undergraduate and graduate physics students participate in some form of public engagement throughout the course of their studies, often through groups supported by physics departments and universities. These informal teaching and learning programs can offer unique opportunities for both participants and facilitators to interact in a way that…

Communities of Practice as a Curriculum Design Theory in an Introductory Physics Class for Engineers
Irving, Paul W.; McPadden, Daryl; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] The communities of practice framework has become an essential framework for understanding identity development both in physics education research (PER) and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, more broadly. However, the use of communities…

Pawlak, Alanna; Irving, Paul W.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
An increasing number of introductory physics courses are seeking to incorporate "authentic practices," and a large area of focus in this trend is the incorporation of computational problems into the curriculum. These problems offer students an opportunity to engage with the programming practices and numerical problem-solving methods used…

Nair, Abhilash; Sawtelle, Vashti – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
A common hope of many physics educators and researchers is that students leave the course with a stronger sense that physics is relevant to them than when they entered the course. Multiple survey measures have attempted to measure shifts in students' beliefs on the relevance of physics but frequently the results show a negative shift in students'…

Aiken, John M.; Henderson, Rachel; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Physics education research (PER) has used quantitative modeling techniques to explore learning, affect, and other aspects of physics education. However, these studies have rarely examined the predictive output of the models, instead focusing on the inferences or causal relationships observed in various data sets. This research introduces a modern…

Scherr, Rachel E.; Plisch, Monica; Goertzen, Renee Michelle – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms of increasing the number of physics teachers educated per year at institutions with thriving physics teacher preparation programs may inspire and support other institutions in building thriving programs of their own. The Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC), led by the American Physical Society (APS) and the…

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…
