Kortemeyer, Gerd; Bauer, Wolfgang; Fisher, Wade – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
In a partially flipped, hybrid introductory physics course where students had a free choice between attending any lecture session in person or via video conferencing, and where recordings of the lecture sessions were made available for asynchronous viewing, a total of 16 learner attributes and their relationships were investigated. Five of these…

Kestin, Greg; Miller, Kelly; McCarty, Logan S.; Callaghan, Kristina; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Nearly every introductory physics or chemistry course includes live lecture demonstrations, which can range from simple illustrations of a pendulum to elaborate productions with specialized apparatus and highly trained demonstrators. Students and instructors often consider "demos" to be among the highlights of these classes. Yet, in some…

Gjerde, Vegard; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Introductory mechanics is an obligatory course for many disciplines outside of physics and the failure rate is often high. Even the students who pass the course often fail to achieve the main learning goal: The conceptual knowledge required for modeling situations with physics principles. In many cases, this is due to inefficient learning…

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,…

Good, Melanie; Maries, Alexandru; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Over the course of instruction, not only does most introductory physics students' content knowledge evolve but their attitudes and approaches to problem solving are also likely to evolve. This change may depend on many factors including the curricula and pedagogies used, the degree to which instruction actively engages students in the learning…

Zhang, Ping; Ding, Lin; Mazur, Eric – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
This paper analyzes pre-post matched gains in the epistemological views of science students taking the introductory physics course at Beijing Normal University (BNU) in China. In this study we examined the attitudes and beliefs of science majors (n = 441) in four classes, one taught using traditional (lecture) teaching methods, and the other three…
