Moshfeghyeganeh, Saeed; Hazari, Zahra – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Women continue to be underrepresented in physics in the United States. This is while many Muslim majority (MM) countries have a high representation of women in undergraduate and graduate physics programs. While there is a growing awareness of this trend, little is being done to understand why and how this trend has manifested and how it can be…

Elby, Andrew; Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] In the "standard" physics education research curriculum-development model, researchers are cast primarily as producers of curricula and instructors are cast primarily consumers, i.e., adopters and adapters. We illustrate a complementary model in…

Körhasan, Nilüfer Didis; Hidir, Mustafa – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Analogies are suitable for teaching scientific concepts by comparing an unknown with a known. For this reason, they are widely used by textbook authors or science teachers for different aims such as introduction, clarification, or discrimination of new concepts. This study examines the analogies used in elementary science textbooks from 3rd to 8th…

Balta, Nuri; Mason, Andrew J.; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
Students' attitudes and approaches to physics problem solving can impact how well they learn physics and how successful they are in solving physics problems. Prior research in the U.S. using a validated Attitude and Approaches to Problem Solving (AAPS) survey suggests that there are major differences between students in introductory physics and…

Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Elby, Andrew – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
This study investigates how elite Turkish high school physics students claim to approach learning physics when they are simultaneously (i) engaged in a curriculum that led to significant gains in their epistemological sophistication and (ii) subject to a high-stakes college entrance exam. Students reported taking surface (rote) approaches to…

Didis, Nilüfer; Eryilmaz, Ali; Erkoç, Sakir – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
This paper is the first part of a multiphase study examining students' mental models about the quantization of physical observables--light, energy, and angular momentum. Thirty-one second-year physics and physics education college students who were taking a modern physics course participated in the study. The qualitative analysis of data revealed…

Sharma, Sapna; Ahluwalia, P. K.; Sharma, S. K. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
It has been established by physics education researchers that there is a correlation between the learner's behavior, their epistemological beliefs with which they come to the classrooms, and their success in a course. This study of Indian students and teachers explores expectations and beliefs in learning physics at the secondary and tertiary…

Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Elby, Andrew; Eryilmaz, Ali – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
This study explored how researchers' views about the form of students' epistemologies influence how the researchers develop and refine surveys and how they interpret survey results. After running standard statistical analyses on 505 physics students' responses to the Turkish version of the Maryland Physics Expectations-II survey, probing students'…
