Fabian Kieser; Peter Wulff; Jochen Kuhn; Stefan Küchemann – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Generative AI technologies such as large language models show novel potential to enhance educational research. For example, generative large language models were shown to be capable of solving quantitative reasoning tasks in physics and concept tests such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI). Given the importance of such concept inventories for…

Zorrilla, David; Sánchez-Márquez, Jesús; García, Víctor; Fernández, Manuel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Teaching and understanding the concepts related to ideal gases and their transformations is relatively uncomplicated. However, for science and engineering students, reaching an understanding of and assimilating the concepts related to real gases and their transformations is a more difficult goal. Backed by their considerable experience teaching…
