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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

Adrian Adams; Lauren Barth-Cohen – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
In undergraduate research settings, students are likely to encounter anomalous data, that is, data that do not meet their expectations. Most of the research that directly or indirectly captures the role of anomalous data in research settings uses post-hoc reflective interviews or surveys. These data collection approaches focus on recall of past…

Ralph Meulenbroeks; Rob van Rijn; Martijn Reijerkerk – Research in Science Education, 2024
Intrinsic motivation plays a unique mediating role in student academic performance. An inquiry-based learning (IBL) physics practical is studied in terms of effects on secondary school students' intrinsic motivation towards performing science practicals. After performing IBL experiments on ionizing radiation, 38 secondary school physics students…

Joseph Nzabahimana; Kizito Ndihokubwayo; Leon Rugema Mugabo – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Laboratory experimentation providing students with hands-on experiences can greatly enhance the teaching and learning of physics. However, traditional hands-on laboratories are very expensive, limiting the possibilities for practical activities. In addition, limited time for laboratory practices prevents teachers and students from conducting…

Danny Doucette; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] This review article provides an overview of research on the topic of gender equity in educational physics labs. As many institutions and instructors seek to evolve or transform physics lab learning, it is important that changes are made…

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…

C. F. J. Pols; P. J. J. M. Dekkers – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Acknowledgement of the limited learning outcomes in our first-year physics lab course, strikingly similar to the observed and reported issues in literature, incited renewal of the course with a focus on developing students' ability to engage in experimental physics research. The "procedural and conceptual knowledge (PACKS)…

Ravishankar Chatta Subramaniam; Jason W. Morphew; Carina M. Rebello; N. Sanjay Rebello – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Investigating students' thinking in classroom tasks, particularly in science and engineering, is essential for improving educational practices and advancing student learning. In this context, the notion of "Ways of Thinking" (WoT) has gained traction in STEM education, offering a framework to explore how students approach and solve…

Mukarramah Mustari; Hartono; Sunyoto Eko Nugroho; Sugianto – Journal of Educators Online, 2025
This paper explores the development and evaluation of a MOOCs-based virtual physics measurement laboratory module designed to overcome common barriers in physics education, such as limited physical lab access, high costs, and safety concerns. Utilizing the Borg and Gall Research and Development model, this module integrates structured layouts,…

Gayle Geschwind; Michael Vignal; Marcos D. Caballero; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Concepts and practices surrounding measurement uncertainty are vital knowledge for physicists and are often emphasized in undergraduate physics laboratory courses. We have previously developed a research-based assessment instrument--the Survey of Physics Reasoning on Uncertainty Concepts in Experiments (SPRUCE)--to examine student proficiency with…

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…
