Christof Keebaugh; Emily Marshman; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
We discuss how research on student difficulties was used as a guide to develop, validate, and evaluate a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) to help students learn how to determine the completely symmetric bosonic or completely antisymmetric fermionic wave function and be able to compare and contrast them from the case when the particles…

Yajun Wei; Yi Zhong; Feipeng Pi – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Video instruction has been widely studied and is generally considered as effective as live instruction for teaching scientific concepts and procedures. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of prerecorded videos for teaching more challenging content. This study conducted a controlled experiment on over 300 high school students to…

Hal Van Ryswyk; Hanna Z. Porter; Connor K. M. Seto; Ixchel Lopez; Emma Dy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is used to estimate the size of quantum dots (QDs) produced in a simple, fast, small-scale synthesis. This upper-division laboratory experiment teaches the basics of QD synthesis and pulsed field gradient NMR, a powerful technique for measuring diffusion coefficients in solution. The diffusion…

Florian Budimaier; Martin Hopf – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Although there has been extensive research on students' understanding of the particulate nature of matter (PNM), there is still a lack of research on contexts that can be used to teach this challenging topic. In a previous design-based research study, the authors developed a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) on the PNM in the context of crystal…

Sherab Tenzin; Reeta Rai; Damcho Gyeltshen – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2024
Graphic Organizers are visual and graphic display that illustrates the correlations between facts, terms, and ideas with a learning task. Integrating Graphic Organizers can enhance the efficiency of the teacher's delivery of lessons and students' learning. However, no study had been conducted in using graphic organizers in the process of teaching…

Junhua Xiao – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
The flipped classroom teaching model has been widely used in anatomy education to embrace a blended learning strategy. However, the impact that a continuous flipped classroom teaching model exerts on student learning of human topographic anatomy remains unclear. To address this question, student learning experience and performance were compared…

Sintje Liline; Anensiana Tomhisa; Dominggus Rumahlatu; Kristin Sangur – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
In this industrial revolution era, university-level education emphasises higher-order thinking skills. This research aims to analyse the effect of implementing the PjB-HOTS learning model on cognitive learning, creative thinking skills, analytical thinking skills, and metacognitive skills of the students studying osmoregulation concepts in Animal…

Schermerhorn, Benjamin P.; Corsiglia, Giaco; Sadaghiani, Homeyra; Passante, Gina; Pollock, Steven – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
We conducted a multiyear project across three institutions to develop an instructional tutorial that supports student understanding of change of basis in quantum mechanics. Building from our previous work, we identified learning goals to guide activity development. The tutorial makes an analogy between spin-1/2 states and a Cartesian coordinate…

Tegegne, Tamene Atsebiha; Kelkay, Asrat Dagnew – Cogent Education, 2023
The aim of this study was to compare the 5E learning model with traditional learning methods in terms of their effect on students' conceptual understanding of water subtopics. The participants of the study were grade 8 students of 2021 academic year. While 27 of them were randomly assigned to the experimental group, the other 27 were assigned to…

Tobin, R. G.; Lacy, Sara J.; Crissman, Sally – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Kinetic energy is usually the entry point for the study of energy in physics and is often perceived as unproblematic. We present evidence, however, that some learners who seem to have accepted the concept, from elementary school students to college physics majors and in-service teachers, nevertheless do not consistently attribute kinetic energy to…

Mary Jane Brundage; Alexandru Maries; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The Energy and Momentum Conceptual Survey (EMCS) is a multiple-choice survey that contains conceptual problems involving a variety of energy and momentum concepts covered in a typical introductory physics course for science and engineering majors. Prior studies suggest that many concepts on the survey are challenging for introductory physics…

Ina Zaimi; Amber J. Dood; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Asking students to explain why phenomena occur at a molecular level is vital to increasing their understanding of chemistry concepts. One way to elicit students' mechanistic reasoning and guide construction of knowledge is through Writing-to-Learn (WTL), which is a promising approach for students in organic chemistry courses. In the design of WTL…

Jaafar, Rosly; Daud, Anis Nazihah Mat; Yusof, Mohd Rozni Md – Physics Education, 2019
In this study, we visualized the superposition principle of sound waves in a both-closed-end (BCE) resonance tube. The resonance tube is constructed using an acrylic tube with 2.64 cm internal diameter and 150 cm length, polystyrene beads to illustrate the positions of displacement nodes and antinodes and two identical detachable speakers as…

Umar A. Adam; Franklin U. Onowugbeda; Nur Islami; Kehinde G. Ogolo – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
The study investigated the potency of ethnoscience instruction on the critical thinking ability of biology students. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design, with a total of 113 senior secondary school two (the equivalent of grade 11) students from two schools in educational district V of Lagos State, Nigeria. All students in the…
