Minchul Kim; Sangwoo Ha – Science & Education, 2024
Although Ohm's law contains various possibilities in teaching and learning scientific inquiry, it is rare for students to experience an authentic inquiry. Thus, we designed an open-ended in-depth inquiry about Ohm's law and made students conduct it. To do this, we developed a laboratory activity for students following a standard method of Ohm's…

Rebeckah K. Fussell; Megan Flynn; Anil Damle; Michael F. J. Fox; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) hold significant promise for improving physics education research that uses machine learning. In this study, we compare the application of various models for conducting a large-scale analysis of written text grounded in a physics education research classification problem: identifying skills in…

Punsiri Dam-O; Yaowarat Sirisathitkul; Thammarong Eadkhong; Suthon Srivaro; Chitnarong Sirisathitkul; Sorasak Danworaphong – Distance Education, 2024
This paper describes a case study of an online physics laboratory course implemented for 254 engineering students at Walailak University in Thailand in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The laboratory sequence was designed based on the United Kingdom Professional Standards Framework and covered eight experiments on fundamental concepts of motion,…

Simon Zacharias Lahme; Jasper Ole Cirkel; Larissa Hahn; Julia Hofmann; Josefine Neuhaus; Susanne Schneider; Pascal Klein – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The current dropout rate in physics studies in Germany is about 60%, with the majority of dropouts occurring in the first year. Consequently, the physics study entry phase poses a significant challenge for many students. Students' stress perceptions can provide more profound insights into the processes and challenges during that period. In a panel…

For nearly two decades, augmented reality (AR) has found diverse applications in education, particularly in science education, where its efficacy has been supported by relevant theories and many empirical studies. However, previous studies have revealed the following research deficit: While AR technology appears to influence learning-related…

Kristen A. Miller; Shelli N. Carter; Joseph Marra – Online Learning, 2025
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…

Ravishankar Chatta Subramaniam; Nikhil Borse; Amir Bralin; Jason W. Morphew; Carina M. Rebello; N. Sanjay Rebello – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Reform documents advocate for innovative pedagogical strategies to enhance student learning. A key innovation is the integration of science and engineering practices through engineering design (ED)-based physics laboratory tasks, where students tackle engineering design problems by applying physics principles. While this approach has its benefits,…

Emily Margaret Stump – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Physics education researchers have called for a shift from traditional laboratory (lab) instruction to labs that focus on the development of experimental skills. Although research has demonstrated the efficacy of such reformed labs, much work remains to determine what these labs can and should teach students and how best to achieve these goals.…

Ian Descamps; Sophia Jeon; N. G. Holmes; Rachel E. Scherr; David Hammer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
In introductory physics laboratory instruction, students often expect to confirm or demonstrate textbook physics concepts. This expectation is largely undesirable: labs that emphasize confirmation of textbook physics concepts are generally unsuccessful at teaching those concepts and even in contexts that do not emphasize confirmation, such…

Jared P. Canright; Suzanne White Brahmia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
We report on a study of the effects of laboratory activities that model fictitious laws of physics in a virtual reality environment on (i) students' epistemology about the role of experimental physics in class and in the world; (ii) students' self-efficacy; and (iii) the quality of student engagement with the lab activities. We create…

Smadar Levy; Adi Noga; Edit Yerushalmi – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Teachers' goals and orientations underlie their instructional decision making and can make the difference between "talking the talk" and "walking the walk" when trying to change lab instruction. Schoenfeld's "Resources, Orientations, and Goals" (ROG) framework was employed to shed light on the challenges involved in a…

Nikolaos Papalazarou; Ioannis Lefkos; Nikolaos Fachantidis – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Involving students in laboratory and inquiry-based activities can help them understand the concepts of physics. However the learning process should not only focus on the concepts. Moreover, the advantages of using virtual or physical labs are still under examination. The purpose of this study is to analyse which of the two modes (virtual or…

Moritz Waitzmann; Ruediger Scholz; Susanne Wessnigk – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Clear and rigorous quantum reasoning is needed to explain quantum physical phenomena. As pillars of true quantum physical explanations, we suggest specific quantum reasoning derived from quantum physical key ideas. An experiment is suggested to support such a quantum reasoning, in which a quantized radiation field interacts with an optical beam…

Aziz Amaaz; Abderrahman Mouradi; Moahamed Erradi – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Despite the importance of physics practical work in higher education, its implementation is often hampered by various constraints and problems. Technology, such as learning management systems (LMS) and mobile learning, can offer solutions to some of these problems and enrich students' learning experiences. Therefore, this research proposes a model…

Peter Gimby; Wesley Ernst; Christopher Cully; Ania Harlick – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2024
The switch to online learning required a creative solution to allow for the experiential learning outcomes of the program to be satisfied when access to physical spaces and equipment was restricted. This paper describes a collaborative process between technical and support staff as well as research and teaching faculty that led to the creation of…
