  • Supporting Learning and Thinking with Multiple Representations in Upper Division Physics Courses

    Creator:
    Alfson, Jonathan W.
    Abstract:
    Physicists solve problems and communicate their work using many external representations, such as equations, words, diagrams, graphs, sketches, pictures, and more. To learn physics, then, students must learn to use external representations. In this dissertation, I present three manuscripts. Each manuscript discusses how upper-division Paradigms in Physics students use multiple...

  • Student Evaluative Sensemaking on Homework in Intermediate Mechanics

    Creator:
    Hahn, Kelby T.
    Abstract:
    Physicists seek to understand the world and often use mathematics to aid in attaining that goal. Thus when doing mathematics they often interrogate their results in order to ensure that they align with their expectations and to gain new insight into how the world works. This seeking of coherence between...
