  • 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,...

  • Examining Upper-DivisionThermodynamics Using the Actor Oriented Transfer Framework

    Creator:
    Sherer, Grant J.
    Abstract:
    One source of di culty for students in Thermodynamics courses is their unfamiliarity with partial derivatives and the associated mathematical procedures. At Oregon State University, a mechanical analogue of thermodynamic systems, called the Partial Derivative Machine (PDM), has been designed. The PDM represents an attempt to make the mathematics of...

  • 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...

  • Solution method and error evolution of student responses to chain rule problems within a thermodynamics course

    Creator:
    Founds, Ian, W and Founds, Ian W.
    Abstract:
    Chain rules are critical to the process of solving many thermodynamics-related partial derivatives. This study evaluates the solution method and error evolution of students’ responses to a pair of chain rule problems in an upper-level undergraduate thermodynamics course. Students’ responses were categorized by solution method. Students’ solution methods included implicit...

  • 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...

  • Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...

  • Student & textbook presentation of divergence

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores student understanding of divergence in physics settings. The various uses of divergence in physics are detailed. Textbook approaches to divergence are categorized as geometric, curvilinear coordinate, discussion-based, and algebraic statement. Textbook approaches to the divergence theorem are categorized as geometric, equivalent integrals, mathematical statement with explanation, and...

  • Student Thoughts on Derivatives of Vector Fields

    Creator:
    Walker, Mesa E.
    Abstract:
    Junior level physics students are familiar with a few types of vector field derivatives, such as divergence and curl, but are typically unfamiliar with how to take a general derivative of a vector field. Three junior-level physics students were interviewed with the open-ended prompt, “How would you think about taking...

  • Assessing student reasoning in upper-division electricity and magnetism at Oregon State University

    Creator:
    Zwolak, Justyna P. and Manogue, Corinne A.
    Abstract:
    [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Upper Division Physics Courses.] Standardized assessment tests that allow researchers to compare the performance of students under various curricula are highly desirable. There are several research-based conceptual tests that serve as instruments to assess and identify students' difficulties in lower-division courses....
