Undergraduate Researcher Personas
Tra Huynh, Adrian M Madsen, Eleanor C Sayre
Personalized undergraduate research programs can help increase undergraduate students' participation in research. Personas of undergraduate researchers are a powerful means of enca…
Beyond teaching methods: highlighting physics faculty's strengths and agency
Linda E. Strubbe, Adrian M. Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan +1
Much work in physics education research (PER) characterizes faculty teaching practice in terms of whether faculty use specific named PER-based teaching methods, either with fidelit…
Physics departments should discuss sexual harassment -- But consider this first
Linda E. Strubbe, Electra Eleftheriadou, Sarah B. McKagan +2
In April 2019, Aycock et al. published "Sexual harassment reported by undergraduate female physicists" in Phys. Rev. PER. Their main finding is that 3/4 of undergraduate women in p…
PhysPort use and growth: Supporting physics teaching with research-based resources since 2011
Sarah B. McKagan, Linda E. Strubbe, Lyle J. Barbato +3
PhysPort (www.physport.org) has become the go-to place for physics faculty to learn to apply research-based teaching and assessment in their classrooms. Usage has doubled every two…
Best Practices for Administering Attitude and Beliefs Surveys
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B McKagan, Eleanor C Sayre
Physics faculty care about their students learning physics content. In addition, they usually hope that their students will learn some deeper lessons about thinking critically and…
Resource Letter RBAI-2: Research-based assessment instruments: Beyond physics topics
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C Sayre +1
This Resource Letter provides a guide to research-based assessment instruments (RBAIs) for physics and astronomy classes, but goes beyond physics and astronomy topics to include: a…
Resource Letter: RBAI-1: Research-based Assessment Instruments in Physics and Astronomy
Adrian Madsen, Sam McKagan, Eleanor C Sayre
This resource letter provides a guide to research-based assessment instruments (RBAIs) of physics and astronomy content. These are standardized assessments that were rigorously dev…
Research-based assessment affordances and constraints: Perceptions of physics faculty
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Mathew "Sandy" Martinuk +2
To help faculty use research-based materials in a more significant way, we learn about their perceived needs and desires and use this information to suggest ways for the Physics Ed…
Personas as a Powerful Methodology to Design Targeted Professional Development Resources
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C. Sayre +2
Scaling and sustaining educational innovations is a common problem in the learning sciences. Professional development resources around educational innovations that are personalized…
Best Practices for Administering Concept Inventories
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C. Sayre
There are a plethora of concept inventories in physics available for faculty to use, but it is not always clear exactly why you would use these tests, or how you should administer…
How physics instruction impacts students' beliefs about learning physics: A meta-analysis of 24 studies
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C. Sayre
In this meta-analysis, we synthesize the results of 24 studies using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) and the Maryland Physics Expectations Survey (MPEX…
Gender gap on concept inventories in physics: what is consistent, what is inconsistent, and what factors influence the gap?
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C. Sayre
We review the literature on the gender gap on concept inventories in physics. Across studies of the most commonly used mechanics concept inventories, the Force Concept Inventory (F…
