Philipp Bitzenbauer; Tom Teußner; Joaquin M. Veith; Christoph Kulgemeyer – Research in Science Education, 2024
This mixed-methods study examines how pre-service teachers select instructional videos on YouTube for physics teaching. The study focuses on the role of surface features that YouTube provides (e.g., likes, views, thumbnails) and the comments underneath the videos in the decision-making process using videos on quantum physics topics as an example.…

Negoro, Ridho Adi; Rusilowati, Ani; Aji, Mahardika Prasetya – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2023
The rapid development of technology requires education to provide learning that can improve students' critical thinking and ICT (information and communication technology) skills. One of the lessons that can be applied is ICT-based. The material is packed with state-of-the-art technology and computer programming. For this reason, a study was…

Stadermann, Kirsten; Goedhart, Martin – Physics Education, 2022
High school students' difficulties with quantum physics (QP) are partly due to their limited understanding of the nature of science (NOS). The essence of QP can only be understood with informed views about NOS aspects such as the role of models and the relevance of controversies between physicists. Inversely, QP is an ideal topic for teaching…

Fauziah Rasyid; Jumadi Jumadi; Proki Karandja Hawur – Journal of Science Learning, 2025
This study aims to explore the literature on learning interventions that can enhance students' multiple representation skills and identify indicators for assessing multiple representation abilities in physics education. Following the PRISMA procedure, the research is a systematic literature review using qualitative content analysis techniques. The…

McCall, Martin; Kinsler, Paul; Tymms, Vijay – Physics Teacher, 2020
In many high school teaching materials the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is discussed using an idea based on a so-called "catapult field" (cf. Fig. 1), an engaging depiction of magnetic forces, albeit one which, to the best of our knowledge, has neither been used in college-level educational material or scrutinized…

Poor, S. V.; Herman, B. C.; Janney, B. A. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2023
A robust knowledge of physics entails deeply understanding electricity concepts such as conductivity and resistance. Understanding how circuits work is also critical for ensuring the safe use of electrical technology such as car batteries and downed powerlines. Curricular materials covering these content ideas are readily available for teachers.…

Akbar, Fathan; Abdullah, Mikrajuddin – Physics Education, 2020
A lot of new science has been inspired by common phenomena and even by old traditions practiced in our daily lives. Eventually, after deep exploration, this may engender unexpected new technologies. In this paper, inspired by the wearing of a traditional cloth called a "sarong," by the community in South East Asian countries and others,…

Eerlina, Nia; Prayekti; Wicaksono, Iwan – Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2022
Atomic physics teaching materials support student motivation to learn independently, guide, and direct students to master material with abstract characteristics. The teaching materials in blended learning can improve the tutorial system's interaction process in distance education with special characteristics. Universitas Terbuka students have…

Shintsuruta, Michiya; Okubo, Hirokazu; Iwayama, Tsutomu – Physics Education, 2021
We developed new teaching materials, electrical resistors and capacitors, using carbon nanotube (CNT) paper and carbon fibre (CF) paper to foster students' creative thinking, thereby deepening and extending learning. Using a CNT-paper electrical resistor, it is possible to elucidate the dependence of the resistance value on the length and width.…

Emigh, Paul J.; Gire, Elizabeth; Manogue, Corinne A.; Passante, Gina; Shaffer, Peter S. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
A growing body of research-based instructional materials for quantum mechanics has been developed in recent years. Despite a common grounding in the research literature on student ideas about quantum mechanics, there are some major differences between the various sets of instructional materials. In this article, we examine the major instructional…

Kwon, Munho; Jun, Joongwoo; Jang, Taehun; Sohn, Sangho – Physics Teacher, 2020
Electromagnetism, along with mechanics, is one of the most fundamental disciplines in physics, and the magnetic force is one of the most easily accessible forces existing in nature. Magnets are often used as science teaching aids and are readily available from a young age; the forces of these magnets are first dealt with in NGSS (Next Generation…

Ryu, Sangjin; Zhang, Haipeng; Peteranetz, Markeya; Daher, Tareq – Physics Teacher, 2020
Current K-12 and undergraduate students have grown up with constant exposure to visual popular culture (e.g., movies, TV programs, graphic novels, etc.). Because youth find pop culture references in the classroom to be engaging, many science and engineering instructors have shown that examples found in visual pop culture can be used to teach…

Kosmaca, Jelena; Cinite, Ilva; Barinovs, Girts – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2023
Interactive learning materials can be a more efficient and engaging way of studying physics than lecturing. This research aims to explore the use of interactive H5P video as an alternative to traditional teacher-led class presentations at the university physics practicum. The quasi-experimental research design was implemented with 60 undergraduate…

Lindsay, William E.; Otero, Valerie K. – Science Education, 2023
This study examines the impact of organizational purposes and values on reforming physics instruction to align with a practice-based instructional approach, in a case of engaging in infrastructuring with a no-excuses charter network. The network's instruction was guided by organizational purposes of ensuring predictable academic success and…

Foregrounding Epistemology and Everyday Intuitions in a Quantum Physics Course for Nonscience Majors
Wittmann, Michael C.; Morgan, Jeffrey T. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
In developing and modifying a course called "Intuitive Quantum Physics" for nonscience majors, several social and theoretical commitments informed our design decisions. We believed that the goal of a general education course should not be acquiring content knowledge alone, but more generally developing an approach to thinking…
