James Olson – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The human brain is a byproduct of the natural process of evolution, as is the knowledge it contains. Like other natural resources fit for human consumption, knowledge can be modeled as a physical entity that can be sought after and acquired. In ancient times, knowledge was geographically constrained as a consequence of being a physical entity…

Boudreaux, Andrew; Elby, Andy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] When we examined student responses to questions about the direction of the static friction force in various situations, we both had strong ideas about how to write a tutorial to promote deeper understanding. But our ideas were quite different. In this…

Alexis Buzzell; Timothy J. Atherton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Quantum mechanics is an integral course for physics students. An understanding of quantum concepts is imperative for enrollment in physics graduate programs, participating in research within physics fields, and employment with companies developing quantum technologies. This study analyzes 188 U.S. research-intensive institutions' course catalogs…

Spatz, Verena; Wilhelm, Thomas; Hopf, Martin; Waltner, Christine; Wiesner, Hartmut – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2019
The project described here was aimed at developing and evaluating a novel curriculum with corresponding instructional materials for middle school students on an introduction to Newtonian mechanics, based on physics education research findings. A case study showed that teachers who attended a half-day workshop on the curriculum subsequently enacted…

Justin Gambrell; Eric Brewe – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Computational thinking in physics has many different forms, definitions, and implementations depending on the level of physics or the institution it is presented in. To better integrate computational thinking in introductory physics, we need to understand what physicists find important about computational thinking in introductory physics. We…

Shalsa Billa Ardhana Neswary; Binar Kurnia Prahani – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2023
The merdeka curriculum is a curriculum whose learning structure is divided into two main activities, namely learning that refers to student learning outcomes in each subject and projects to strengthen the Pancasila student profile. A digital pocketbook is an electronic book that contains information in the form of text or images that can be…

Alicea-Muñoz, Emily; Subiño Sullivan, Carol; Schatz, Michael F. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are key partners in the education of undergraduates. Given the potentially large impact GTAs can have on undergraduate student learning, it is important to provide them with appropriate preparation for teaching. But GTAs are students themselves, and not all of them desire to pursue an academic career. Fully…

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…
