It is beneficial for quantum mechanics students to have a unified understanding of eigentheory concepts, so they can recognize the shared structure of mathematized phenomena from the different quantum mechanical systems of spin, energy, or position and recognize those as instantiations of the same overarching concept. Quantum mechanics instructors should, therefore, provide opportunities for their class community to develop a shared unified understanding of eigentheory concepts. One such opportunity can arise by engaging students in analogizing eigentheory concepts in one context with those from another context. We investigate the pedagogical moves related to analogies that can be used by a quantum mechanics course instructor to support a class community in developing a shared unified understanding of eigenequations. We analyze classroom data to characterize an instructor's pedagogical moves as he engaged students in analogical reasoning. Some moves include posing tasks conducive to analogizing; preparing, soliciting, and scaffolding students' participation in analogical reasoning; using deictic gestures and inscriptions; juxtaposing symbols representing the analogized concepts; and explicitly highlighting the sameness of the analogized concepts. We exemplify these pedagogical moves with analytical descriptions of illustrative class episodes. We discuss how these pedagogical moves can support the class community's expansion of their common ground by fostering the development of the class's shared unified understanding of eigentheory concepts.
