  • Geometric reasoning in an active-engagement upper-division E&M classroom

    Creator:
    Cerny, Leonard Thomas
    Abstract:
    A combination of theoretical perspectives is used to create a rich description of student reasoning when facing a highly-geometric electricity and magnetism problem in an upper-division active-engagement physics classroom at Oregon State University. Geometric reasoning as students encounter problem situations ranging from familiar to novel is described using van Zee...

  • How do engineering students develop and reason with concepts of electricity within a project-based course?

    Creator:
    Bledsoe, Karen E.
    Abstract:
    Reform in science education has often emphasized task-based learning as an instructional method to improve student understanding and retention of concepts, and to promote the development of reasoning and problem-solving. Yet studies assessing student knowledge at the beginning and end of a task-based class show mixed results. Students in task-based...

  • Learning in a physics classroom community : physics learning identity construct development, measurement and validation

    Creator:
    Li, Sissi L.
    Abstract:
    At the university level, introductory science courses usually have high student to teacher ratios which increases the challenge to meaningfully connect with students. Various curricula have been developed in physics education to actively engage students in learning through social interactions with peers and instructors in class. This learning environment demands...
