Agostino Cioffi; Silvia Galano; Raffaella Passeggia; Italo Testa – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The assessment of test anxiety has received increasing attention in educational research due to the potential negative effects of anxiety on student performance. Traditionally, test anxiety scales have been developed for mathematics, but few studies have focused on physics. In this study, we validated two test anxiety scales for undergraduate…

Sun, Yulong; Chang, Chun-Hao; Chiang, Feng-Kuang – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
Previous studies on the topic of "Problem solving" indicate it's one of the skills of students in the 21st century that educational robots can effectively support. Additionally, there are gender differences in the problem-solving process. Understanding the problem-solving process and using knowledge to solve problems is key to improving…

White, Jason R. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
In an effort to offer modern and engaging senior design projects, as well as to improve ABET student outcome achievement, students were tasked with proposing their own design project idea for potential use as a senior project. Survey results from two cohorts have indicated that the majority of the students felt they achieved targeted ABET student…

Kalender, Z. Yasemin; Stump, Emily; Hubenig, Katelynn; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Instructional physics labs offer students unique opportunities to develop an understanding of experimentation. By transforming labs to be more open ended and experimentation focused, instructors can better support student agency and choice. In this study, we examine students' overall sense of and perceptions about agency in two…

Kuvac, Meltem; Koc, Isil – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Several studies have reported that inservice and preservice teachers hold narrow and stereotypical perceptions of engineer and engineering. However, only a few studies attempted to examine interventions which improve their perceptions. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the preservice science teachers' (PSTs) perceptions of engineer…

Liberatore, Matthew – Chemical Engineering Education, 2017
Textbooks are experiencing a 21st century makeover. The author has created a web-based electronic textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, that records students' interactions. Animations and question sets create interactive and scaffolded content. The interactive format is adopted successfully in other engineering disciplines and is now…

Vardakosta, Eirini; Priniotakis, Georgios; Papoutsidakis, Michail; Sigala, Marisa; Nikolopoulos, Dimitrios – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This paper investigates the viewpoints and perspectives of 179 undergraduate students engaged in a co-creation project regarding their anticipated progress, exploring, simultaneously, the affecting factors. The students attended the physics course in the Department of Industrial Design and Production Engineering at the University of West Attica,…

Lock, Robynne M.; Hazari, Zahra; Potvin, Geoff – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
The number of physics bachelor's degrees that are awarded in the United States annually is small compared to most other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, and only about one-fifth of these degrees are awarded to women. Understanding the influence of students' science and engineering experiences on career choices is critical…

Sundstrom, Meagan; Heim, Ashley B.; Park, Barum; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Researchers have pinpointed recognition from others as one of the most important dimensions of students' science and engineering identity. Studies, however, have found gender biases in students' recognition of their peers, with inconsistent patterns across introductory science and engineering courses. Toward finding the source of this variation,…

Hempel, Byron R.; Kiehlbugh, Kasi; Blowers, Paul – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
A sophomore core chemical engineering course was co-taught by two different 4 instructors in Spring 2016 and Spring 2017 with approximately 90 students both semesters via an 5 active learning environment in a collaborative learning space. Both instructors were present for 6 almost all lectures and each instructor delivered approximately 50% of the…

Malkawi, Amal Reda; Rababah, Ebtesam Qassim – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
This study investigated the degree that Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) criteria from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were included in self-reported teaching practices of twelfth-grade science teachers in Jordan. This study sampled (n = 315) science teachers recruited from eight different public school directorates. The…

Espinosa, Tobias; Miller, Kelly; Araujo, Ives; Mazur, Eric – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Self-efficacy represents an individual's belief that he or she can perform a particular task in a given domain. It is a strong predictor for performance and persistence in STEM education. Research shows that there is a large and persistent gender gap in student self-efficacy in STEM academic disciplines. In some cases, active teaching strategies…

Balta, Nuri; Tzafilkou, Katerina – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
The aim of this study was to understand how students' attitudes were connected to the web based software Socrative. The study was conducted with 50 students taking first year physics courses in a university. The survey dimensions were based on four previous research works and the survey instrument was extended to better reflect the current study…

Patall, Erika A.; Steingut, Rebecca R.; Freeman, Jen L.; Pituch, Keenan A.; Vasquez, Ariana C. – Science Education, 2018
Women remain underrepresented in physical science, engineering, and computer science college majors and careers. Prior research has suggested that motivational beliefs and experiences in high school play a critical role in girls' persistence in science fields. We hypothesized that compared to male students, female high school students may…
