Direct linkAlexis Buzzell; Timothy J. Atherton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Quantum mechanics is an integral course for physics students. An understanding of quantum concepts is imperative for enrollment in physics graduate programs, participating in research within physics fields, and employment with companies developing quantum technologies. This study analyzes 188 U.S. research-intensive institutions' course catalogs…

Two-Phase Study Examining Perspectives and Use of Quantitative Methods in Physics Education Research
Knaub, Alexis V.; Aiken, John M.; Ding, Lin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
While other fields such as statistics and education have examined various issues with quantitative work, few studies in physics education research (PER) have done so. We conducted a two-phase study to identify and to understand the extent of these issues in quantitative PER. During phase 1, we conducted a focus group of three experts in this area,…

Peer reviewedChilders, Pamela B.; Lowry, Michael J. – Clearing House, 2004
Eight years ago, a new senior interdisciplinary science course called "Oceans: Past and Present" for the McCallie School in Tennessee was designed. The idea stemmed from the combination of a physics teacher's desire for a course based on a summer program at sea and a writing center director/teacher's longing for the ocean from the…
