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...
