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…

Rodriguez, Miguel; Barthelemy, Ramón; McCormick, Melinda – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
More progress is needed to achieve equity in racial and gender representation in the push to diversify the physical sciences. In order to continue moving towards representation and equity, there is a need for more analytic tools that can help us understand where we are and how we got here. This may also enable meaningful systemic change. In this…

Fox, Michael F. J.; Zwickl, Benjamin M.; Lewandowski, H. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Quantum sensing, quantum networking and communication, and quantum computing have attracted significant attention recently, as these quantum technologies could offer significant advantages over existing technologies. In order to accelerate the commercialization of these quantum technologies, the workforce must be equipped with the necessary…

Anteneodo, Celia; Brito, Carolina; Alves-Brito, Alan; Alexandre, Simone Silva; D'Avila, Beatriz Nattrodt; Menezes, Debora Peres – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We report the results of a survey applied to students and professionals in the area of physics in Brazil, pursuing to draw a portrait of the composition of this community in terms of the social markers of difference age, race, ethnicity, geographical origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. The main goal was to quantify the…

Quan, Gina M.; Corbo, Joel C.; Finkelstein, Noah D.; Pawlak, Alanna; Falkenberg, Karen; Geanious, Christopher; Ngai, Courtney; Smith, Clara; Wise, Sarah; Pilgrim, Mary E.; Reinholz, Daniel L. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Cultivating institutional transformation has been of recent interest in education research. This theoretical paper presents six principles for supporting sustained change efforts at the department level. Considering change efforts at the level of "principles" is valuable because principles are grounded in theoretical and empirical…

Scanlon, Erin; Schreffler, Jillian; James, Westley; Vasquez, Eleazar; Chini, Jacquelyn J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
Federal legislation specifies equitable access to education for all students at all levels of education, including postsecondary. To explore how well the physics education research (PER) community is currently serving students who inherently vary in needs, abilities, and interests, four research-based curricula (Tutorials in Introductory Physics,…

Rosa, Katemari; Mensah, Felicia Moore – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
This is an empirical study on the underrepresentation of people of color in scientific careers. Grounded in critical race theory, the paper examines the lived experiences of six Black women physicists and addresses obstacles faced in their career paths and strategies used to overcome these obstacles. Data for this study were collected through…

Corbo, Joel C.; Reinholz, Daniel L.; Dancy, Melissa H.; Deetz, Stanley; Finkelstein, Noah – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
This paper provides a research-based framework for promoting institutional change in higher education. To date, most educational change efforts have focused on relatively narrow subsets of the university system (e.g., faculty teaching practices or administrative policies) and have been largely driven by implicit change logics; both of these…
