Absence of a COVID-induced academic drop in high-school physics learning
Eric Burkholder, Carl Wieman
At the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, the majority of secondary instruction in the United States transitioned to an online environment. In many parts of the country, online school…
Preparation for future active learning
Eric Burkholder, Mason Sake, Jiamin Zhang
It is well documented that students sometimes resist active learning techniques. A recent study showed how students believed that they learned less in active learning classrooms th…
An equitable and effective approach to introductory mechanics
Eric Burkholder, Shima Salehi, Sarah Sackeyfio +2
Introductory mechanics ("physics 1") is a critical gateway course for students desiring to pursue a STEM career. A major challenge with this course is that there is a large spread…
A Detailed Characterization of the Expert Problem-Solving Process in Science and Engineering; Guidance for Teaching and Assessment
Argenta Price, Candice Kim, Eric Burkholder +2
A primary goal of science and engineering (S & E) education is to produce good problem solvers, but how to best teach and measure the quality of problem-solving remains unclear. Th…
The impact of incoming preparation and demographics on performance in Physics I: a multi-institution comparison
Shima Salehi, Eric Burkholder, G. Peter LePage +2
We have studied the impact of incoming preparation and demographic variables on student performance on the final exam in physics 1, the standard introductory, calculus-based mechan…
