Direct linkMichael E. Robbins; Nathan D. Davis; Eric W. Burkholder – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
There is currently little physics education literature examining thinking and learning in graduate education and even less literature characterizing problem solving among physics graduate students despite this being an essential professional skill for physicists. Given reports of discrepancies between physics problem solving in the undergraduate…

Surya Gumilar; Daris Hadianto; Ari Widodo; Nizar Alam Hamdani; Tetep – Science & Education, 2025
This study focused on the use of anticipation guides (AG) as a reading strategy to support science reading and explored the level of students' scientific written arguments as a result. An AG consists of four components that address the topic of the reading activity: statements about the content, what I think, what the texts say, and evidence in…

Gerd Kortemeyer; Julian Nöhl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study explores the use of artificial intelligence in grading high-stakes physics exams, emphasizing the application of psychometric methods, particularly item response theory, to evaluate the reliability of AI-assisted grading. We examine how grading rubrics can be iteratively refined and how threshold parameters can determine when…

MacKenzie Lenz; Jessica Payton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
In 2017, the University of Utah experienced a tragedy that accelerated already proposed changes to the physics and astronomy graduate program. This article outlines the changes made to the graduate program and discusses students' experiences with the early implementation of the new policies. In-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted with…

Zhongzhou Chen; Tong Wan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study examines the feasibility and potential advantages of using large language models, in particular GPT-4o, to perform partial credit grading of large numbers of student written responses to introductory level physics problems. Students were instructed to write down verbal explanations of their reasoning process when solving one conceptual…

Digital proficiency, including coding, is increasingly essential in physics education. However, disparities in coding skills among students are influenced by demographic factors and prior educational exposure. This study examines barriers to pre-university coding exposure for first-year physics students across five UK institutions, proposing a…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Rui Kang; Hasitha Mahabaduge; Peter Rosado Flores – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2025
Difficulty in retaining college students in STEM majors is one of the key contributors to the scarcity of STEM graduates and a short supply of STEM workers in the United States. Two factors that are closely related to retention and achievement are transition to college and sense of belonging and involvement. We conducted a case study to explore…

Adam Masri; Tracey Ollis; Russell Tytler – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2025
The gender gap in physics in Australian secondary schools remains a significant issue. This study aims to address this problem by examining how physics teachers perceive girls' participation in physics, and how these perceptions influence their approach to gender issues and their potential impact on girls' physics identity. The study uses a…

Fully online courses and degree programs are popular with students. These courses should provide the rigor and value of traditional learning in a face-to-face classroom to ensure mastery of concepts and learning objectives. This research expands previous work to investigate the effectiveness of online laboratory exercises in enhancing student…

Pornrat Wattanakasiwich; Kreetha Kaewkhong; Duanghatai Katwibun – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study investigates physics instructors' acceptance and implementation of generative AI (GenAI) in physics education, guided by Rogers' diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, focusing on its five-stage innovation-decision process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Two survey versions were developed--one for…

V. L. Ottenheim; R. Meulenbroeks; P. Drijvers – European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning, 2025
In recent years, hybrid education has gained attention for teaching and interacting with two groups simultaneously, where both teachers and students face challenges with interaction. We hypothesise that transactional distance plays a role in this. This study, aims to explore the characteristics of hybrid education in terms of interaction and…

Michal Sigron; Dorothy Langley; Stanislaw Dylak; Edit Yerushalmi – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Response to the continuing call to integrate scientific inquiry activities into high school education has taken different forms varying in student ownership, physical setting, time span, and mentoring resources. Important issues are how students perceive central dimensions of their experience, and the extent to which the inquiry framework design…

Test of Understanding of Electric Field, Force, and Flux: A Reliable Multiple-Choice Assessment Tool
Eder Hernandez; Esmeralda Campos; Pablo Barniol; Genaro Zavala – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study presents the development and validation of a novel multiple-choice test designed to assess university students' conceptual understanding of electric field, force, and flux. The test of understanding of electric field, force, and flux was constructed based on the results of previous studies using a phenomenographic approach to classify…

Sustainable living is critical for the next generation, and ESD competencies are required to handle global concerns. Education of Sustainable Development (ESD) helps to overcome this gap, however, technological integration is restricted and lacking in a complete framework. To overcome these problems, this study designed a website as an interactive…
