Sensemaking Throughout the Physics Curriculum: Understanding Expert and Student Ideas About Sensemaking in a Physics Context

Creator:

Lenz, MacKenzie

Abstract:

Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...

Students' Understanding of Discrete and Continuous Systems in Quantum Mechanics and Computation's Supporting Role

Creator:

Solorio, Christian D.

Abstract:

Quantum mechanics is increasingly being taught with a spins-first approach where instructors use simple spin systems to introduce the principles of quantum mechanics rather than systems with wavefunctions. One of the defining characteristics of a spins-first approach is that systems studied have discrete bases, whereas systems with wavefunctions have continuous...

Waving Arms to Teach & Learn Quantum Mechanics

Creator:

Hahn, Kelby T.

Abstract:

In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...
