Simon Zacharias Lahme; Jasper Ole Cirkel; Larissa Hahn; Julia Hofmann; Josefine Neuhaus; Susanne Schneider; Pascal Klein – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The current dropout rate in physics studies in Germany is about 60%, with the majority of dropouts occurring in the first year. Consequently, the physics study entry phase poses a significant challenge for many students. Students' stress perceptions can provide more profound insights into the processes and challenges during that period. In a panel…
