In 2017, the University of Utah experienced a tragedy that accelerated already proposed changes to the physics and astronomy graduate program. This article outlines the changes made to the graduate program and discusses students' experiences with the early implementation of the new policies. In-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted with…

Rogers, Paul Daughtrey – ProQuest LLC, 2018
This mixed-method study represents a broad evaluation of the physics views of Mississippi physics students and physicists, along with an analysis of graduate school data, in a search for answers which might improve physics education in Mississippi. Descriptive statistics were calculated using data from eight graduate degree programs (from Fall…

Chari, Deepa; Potvin, Geoff – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Understanding perceptions of graduate admissions from multiple stakeholders can cultivate an improved understanding about the process of graduate induction, the role that admissions plays in restricting diversity in physics, and contribute to more informed practices for all involved. Prior studies in graduate admissions have reported on how…

Greene, Michael Alan – ProQuest LLC, 2018
This study is composed of several projects in the field of physics education research. First, investigations into flipped physics classrooms at the senior and graduate level show that students uniformly agree that the active learning techniques (peer instruction, group problem solving, etc.) were beneficial to their learning regardless of their…

Karam, Ricardo; Krey, Olaf – Science & Education, 2015
In physics education, equations are commonly seen as calculation tools to solve problems or as concise descriptions of experimental regularities. In physical science, however, equations often play a much more important role associated with the formulation of theories to provide explanations for physical phenomena. In order to overcome this…

Barthelemy, Ramón S.; Van Dusen, Ramón S.; Henderson, Charles – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Women currently outnumber men in obtaining undergraduate degrees but are underrepresented within STEM fields. However, women's representation varies by STEM field, and even further by STEM subfield. One field that has held a persistent low representation of women is physics. This paper seeks to uncover the truth behind an anecdotal claim that the…

Peer reviewedWalford, Geoffrey – Studies in Higher Education, 1980
From data gathered in interviews, four major areas of influence that dominated the decision of British college students to undertake doctoral research work have been determined: love of physics, love of university life, lack of alternatives (particulary job alternatives), and drift. (JMD)

Mulvey, Patrick J.; Tesfaye, Casey Langer – Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics, 2006
This report will document the changes in the number and citizenship of incoming graduate physics and astronomy students. It will provide student characteristics, such as gender, age, and the type of program in which they are enrolled. It will also discuss the educational backgrounds of the incoming students, highlighting differences between US and…

Ellis, Susanne D.; Mulvey, Patrick J. – 1993
An annual survey was conducted of the career plans of 1992 recipients of bachelors degrees in physics and astronomy. The survey has been carried out every year since the 1960s and is a reliable indicator of the graduates' postbaccalaureate intentions and how those trends reflect America's changing economy. For the 1992 survey 2715 of 4965 physics…
