Orzolek, Douglas C.; Blilie, Shelley A. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Like many other universities, Musical Acoustics is offered at our school as a lab-based course fulfilling general science requirements for non-majors. The course has been team-taught by a physics professor and music professor since its earliest inception and, by far, the most popular unit explores room acoustics through a variety of activities and…

Billingsley, Brianna R.; Christenson, Cory W. – Physics Teacher, 2022
A popular introductory physics laboratory experiment is one focusing on Snell's law. This is straightforward to complete with lasers and prisms, but here we present an alternative version that guides the students through some of the major historical developments, recreating and analyzing significant experiments. The discovery of Snell's law has a…

Bakhoum, Ezzat G.; Cheng, Marvin H. M. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Alpha-particle sources are widely used in industrial and medical applications. Such applications include smoke detectors, static charge eliminators, and radiation therapy. This paper is concerned with the detection of alpha particles. A number of techniques are known for the detection of alpha particles. Those techniques include the Geiger-Müller…

Ollé, H.; Kovács, T. – Physics Education, 2022
Data from the Kepler satellite were analysed using the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes database. With the participation of 53 students, we determined the parameters of the HAT-P-7b (Kepler-2) exoplanet system (transit duration, planet-to-star radius ratio, orbital period, semi-major axis and star mass). We used approaches that are easy to…

El-Tawargy, Ahmed S.; Ramadan, Wael A. – Physics Education, 2022
In this work, a simple rocking pendulum, in a circular arc shape, is presented. The idea is to put a rigid arc on a clean flat surface of glass and leave it to oscillate under the effect of a little impulse. Then, the periodic time of this arc pendulum's motion is experimentally determined. The mathematical analysis of the arc's motion is derived…

Malmqvist, Karin; Pendrill, Ann-Marie – Physics Education, 2022
Circular motion changes the perception of up and down. For a skater, the need to lean in towards the centre of an arc constitutes an embodiment of centripetal acceleration. This paper presents a discussion between a physicist and a high-school science teacher without previous physics studies at university level. The discussions started as part of…

Aji, Mahardika Prasetya; Rahmawati, Ita; Imtinan, Nisrina; Wulandari, Yuvita Kiki; Yusmantoro; Priyanto, Aan – Physics Education, 2022
The momentum is often used to analyse the dynamics of the motion of an experimental interaction between objects. Meanwhile, the interaction force tends to be challenging to observe and obtain. In this study, a simple video-assisted experiment was used to observe the interaction forces during the interaction of two magnetic objects. The interaction…

Stehle, Stephanie M. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students come to their high school physics classroom with experiences and knowledge that can be used to help explain physics concepts, but those experiences may not fully align with the scientifically accepted science concept. When there is a misalignment between a student's prior knowledge and the scientifically accepted concept a misconception…

David Argudo; Talise Oh – European Journal of Physics Education, 2022
When deriving the equation describing the transverse motion of a one-dimensional vibrating elastic string, introductory physics textbooks often assume constant tension and/or small amplitude vibrations. However, these simplifying assumptions are not only unnecessary, but they overlook the elastic nature of the tension and yield an inconsistent…

Wilford T. Hairston – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Different teaching and learning strategies have informed physics educators on addressing the cultural meanings and practices of physics that have sustained homogeneity within university programs. However, literature evidence physics learning environments are under-theorized in dismantling homogeneity and conceptually changes physics student…

Caiqin Han; Jiawen Xiang – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
This study aims to analyze the alignment between Physics National Volume I test questions and physics curriculum standards as well as establishing a method of evaluating college entrance examination physics test questions using the Evaluation-Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (E-SEC) model. Firstly, Physics National Volume I from 2011 to 2020 was…

Rebeckah K. Fussell; Megan Flynn; Anil Damle; Michael F. J. Fox; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) hold significant promise for improving physics education research that uses machine learning. In this study, we compare the application of various models for conducting a large-scale analysis of written text grounded in a physics education research classification problem: identifying skills in…

Jens Möller; Katrin Arens; Christoph Niepel – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2025
An expanding literature has explored the impact of second language (L2) self-concept on language achievement and motivation. This review adopts a psychological lens to examine L2 self-concept, beginning with an outline of prominent theoretical frameworks: situated expectancy-value theory; Shavelson et al.'s (1976) hierarchical, multidimensional…
