Investigation of student and faculty problem solving: An example from quantum mechanics
Alexandru Maries, Ryan Sayer, Chandralekha Singh
We describe a study focusing on students' and faculty members' reasoning about problems of differing cognitive complexity related to the double-slit experiment (DSE) with single pa…
Using multiple representations to improve student understanding of quantum states
Emily Marshman, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
One hallmark of expertise in physics is the ability to translate between different representations of knowledge and use the representations that make the problem-solving process ea…
Do evidence-based active-engagement courses reduce the gender gap in introductory physics?
N. I. Karim, A. Maries, C. Singh
Prior research suggests that using evidence-based pedagogies can not only improve learning for all students, it can also reduce the gender gap. We describe the impact of physics ed…
Impact of evidence-based flipped or active-engagement non-flipped courses on student performance in introductory physics
Nafis I Karim, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
We describe the impact of physics education research-based pedagogical techniques in flipped and active-engagement non-flipped courses on student performance on validated conceptua…
