Improving students' views of experimental physics is often an important goal of undergraduate physics laboratory courses. However, traditional lab courses typically include highly guided activities that often do not require or encourage students to engage in the authentic process of experimental physics. Alternatively, open-ended activities in lab…

As quantum technologies increasingly impact society and the workforce, there is a growing need to integrate quantum physics (QP) education into all levels of the curriculum, including secondary education. However, despite increasing interest, there is little consensus on which topics should be covered and to what depth. This study addresses this…

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offers a modern setting for learners to engage in meaningful (meta)cognitive and socioemotional interactions. However, the task design, not technology alone, significantly shapes students' learning interactions. This study investigates how a conceptual physics task and a hands-on robotics task…

Matheus Henrique Thomas Becker; Leonardo Albuquerque Heidemann; Nathan Willig Lima – Science & Education, 2025
The focus on history of science (HOS) in physics education has been advocated for a long time. However, what are the actual implications of proposals with this focus and the recent advancements in this research field? What are the possible connections between HOS and emergent topics, such as decoloniality, social justice, and post-truth? With…

Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2021
Experimental results are presented on the collision of a superball with two different wood blocks. The results are in reasonable agreement with a simple collision model where kinetic energy is conserved, but better agreement is obtained if a small loss of kinetic energy is assumed, as observed. The physics is slightly more complicated than the…

Kontomaris, S. V.; Malamou, A. – Physics Education, 2021
A significant approach that should be followed by physics teachers at the secondary education level in order to enhance students' understanding is to highlight the generality of the mathematical procedures that describe different physical phenomena. In this paper, the common procedure that is used to calculate the duration of various physical…

The cognitive reflection test (CRT) assesses an individual's capacity to restrain impulsive and intuitive responses and to engage in critical reflection on mathematical problems. The literature indicates that several factors influence students' performance on CRT, including gender, age, and prior knowledge of mathematics. In this study, our…

Sunil Pokhrel – Teacher Education Advancement Network Journal, 2024
Recent research has indicated that the utilization of digital technologies among Nepal's secondary school teachers is minimal. A multiple case study research design was employed to explore how Physics teachers at the secondary level utilized digital technologies for teaching Physics and the challenges they encountered in adopting new instructional…

To be able to form and develop competencies with regard to the nature of science (NOS) for students, the teachers must have appropriate conceptions about NOS. Therefore, this study explored levels of conceptions about the nature of science of future physics teachers who have experienced two different physics teachers-education curricula using the…

Ralph Meulenbroeks; Rob van Rijn; Martijn Reijerkerk – Research in Science Education, 2024
Intrinsic motivation plays a unique mediating role in student academic performance. An inquiry-based learning (IBL) physics practical is studied in terms of effects on secondary school students' intrinsic motivation towards performing science practicals. After performing IBL experiments on ionizing radiation, 38 secondary school physics students…

Luke Peh Lu Chang; Shamas ur Rehman Toor; Leong Y. Jonathan – European Journal of Education (EJED), 2024
Interdisciplinary studies can create synergy across various fields, allowing for knowledge in a previously specialized area to support other disciplines. A number of scientific theories and laws have been applied in other domains to explain the latter's phenomenon; the adaptation of Newton's Gravitational Law for studies of bilateral trade,…

Pili, Unofre B. – Physics Education, 2020
Using Tracker, a popular video-based physics modeling tool, the position-time data of magnetically damped oscillations of a simple pendulum are acquired. Eddy currents are generated on an aluminum sheet as the magnetic pendulum bob passes over it and the induced magnetic field opposes that of the magnetic bob. This causes the damping. A…

Generative AI technologies such as large language models show novel potential to enhance educational research. For example, generative large language models were shown to be capable of solving quantitative reasoning tasks in physics and concept tests such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI). Given the importance of such concept inventories for…
