  • The Impact of Guiding Questions and Rubrics in the Scientific Writing of Middle-Division Physics Students

    Creator:
    Watson, Drew M.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this Physics Education Research project was to implement a modified version of Calibrated Peer Review and measure the impacts in junior-level students' scientific writing. The project developed and implemented a set of guiding questions, instructor written examples, and a rubric which were implemented in a multi-staged process,...

  • A case study of how upper-division physics students use visualization while solving electrostatics problems

    Creator:
    Browne, Kerry P.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is a case study of the problem-solving behaviors of upper-division undergraduate physics majors. This study explores the role of visual representations in students' problem solving and provides a foundation for investigating how students' use of visualization changes in the upper-division physics major. Three independent studies were conducted on...

  • Sub-diffraction light propagation and imaging in planar negative refraction waveguides

    Creator:
    Wangberg, Robyn
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation we study the electromagnetic properties of planar waveguides with non-magnetic strongly anisotropic dielectric cores. We develop an analytical description of the mode propagation in these systems and show that the index of refraction can be either positive or negative depending on the specific material parameters. Propagating modes...

  • The use of NAEP data in a state context

    Creator:
    Ha, Jung-Mi
    Abstract:
    The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has measured the condition and progress of education since 1969 to provide information on performance of American students in core subjects to policymakers, educators, and the public. Yet, there has been a perception that theses federal resources are under utilized. An analysis of...

  • Generation of narrowband THz pulses and THz studies of ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor quantum wells

    Creator:
    Danielson, Jeremy R.
    Abstract:
    This work comprises two main parts: creating and shaping narrowband, pulsed THz radiation in a table-top optical setup; and applying THz pulses to semiconductor nanostructures to study electron dynamics. I developed a scheme to shape the THz output of a fanned-out periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The pulses are...

  • Students' transfer of learning of eigenvalues and eigenvectors : Implementation of actor-oriented transfer framework

    Creator:
    Karakok, Gulden
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate third year college students' transfer of learning of the concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors from the winter term physics courses to the interviews in which they participated before, during, and after these courses. Transfer of learning of each student was explored by...

  • Killing spinors and affine symmetry tensors in Gödel's Universe

    Creator:
    Cook, Samuel A.
    Abstract:
    The existence of generalized symmetries of Maxwell's equations in Gödel's Universe is investigated. It is shown that their existence is in turn tied to the existence of certain spinorial objects called Killing spinors. The conformal algebra, corresponding to valence (1; 1) Killing spinors, for Gödel's Universe is discussed in detail....

  • The structure of E6

    Creator:
    Wangberg, Aaron D.
    Abstract:
    A fundamental question related to any Lie algebra is to know its subalgebras. This is particularly true in the case of E6, an algebra which seems just large enough to contain the algebras which describe the fundamental forces in the Standard Model of particle physics. In this situation, the question...

  • Training needs of school counseling site supervisors in the Pacific Northwest : An exploration via the construct of self-efficacy

    Creator:
    DeKruyf, Lorraine
    Abstract:
    School counseling site supervisors provide a critical contribution to the professional development of master's program school counseling interns; however, their training needs remain unidentified in the literature. To that end, the purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the training needs of site supervisors of master's program school counseling...

  • Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Duncan, Corinne M.
    Abstract:
    Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...
