Jöran Petersson – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Previous research has identified an unfilled gap between, on the one hand, mathematical prerequisites needed for a formal treatment of least squares and, on the other hand, only teaching procedural aspects of curve fitting. As a response to this, the present study explores students' suggestions of how they think a computer or calculator does curve…

Fisher, Rick – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
Efforts to promote disciplinary literacy can help students integrate knowledge with ways of doing and being within disciplinary settings. Yet, effectively facilitating disciplinary literacy, even within an upper-level undergraduate physics course like the one studied here, is surprisingly hard. This article qualitatively analyzes an instructor's…

Gayle Geschwind; Micol Alemani; Michael F. J. Fox; P. S. W. M. Logman; Eugenio Tufino; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Physics education research (PER) is a global endeavor, with a wealth of work performed at a variety of institutions worldwide. However, results from research into undergraduate physics laboratory courses are often difficult to compare due to the broad variations in courses. We report here how we developed and validated a survey to classify these…

Çelik, Harun; Pektas, Hüseyin Miraç; Karamustafaoglu, Orhan – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2021
In class environments, the flipped classroom (FC) model has been found to increase students' attitudes, achievement, and motivation. However, the practical effects of the FC model in laboratory environments have not been introduced into the literature. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the FC model on the laboratory self-efficacy skills and…

Paul Bazelais; Gurinder Binner; Tenzin Doleck – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
As an important tool for STEM education, online labs have gained significant research attention. However, our understanding of online labs is limited by the inattention to the factors that contribute to the acceptance of online labs. This study adopts the UTAUT model to investigate the salient determinants of use of online labs. We test the…
