Using Computational Essays to Redistribute Epistemic Agency in Undergraduate Science
Tor Ole B. Odden, Devin Silvia, Anders Malthe-Sørenssen
This article reports on a study investigating how computational essays can be used to redistribute epistemic agency--cognitive control and responsibility over one's own learning--t…
What does it mean to "make sense" of physics?
Tor Ole B. Odden
What does it mean to "make sense" of physics? It's not a simple question. Most people have an intuitive feeling for when things do (or do not) make sense to them. But, putting this…
Thematic Analysis of 18 Years of PERC Proceedings using Natural Language Processing
Tor Ole B. Odden, Alessandro Marin, Marcos D. Caballero
We have used an unsupervised machine learning method called Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to thematically analyze all papers published in the Physics Education Research Confere…
Physics Computational Literacy: An Exploratory Case Study Using Computational Essays
Tor Ole B. Odden, Elise Lockwood, Marcos D. Caballero
Computation is becoming an increasingly important part of physics education. However, there are currently few theories of learning that can be used to help explain and predict the…
Computational Essays in the Physics Classroom
Tor Ole B. Odden, John Burk
Writing and argumentation are critical to both professional physics and physics education. However, the skill of making an extended argument in writing is often overlooked in physi…
How computation can facilitate sensemaking about physics: A case study
Odd Petter Sand, Tor Ole B. Odden, Christine Lindstrøm +1
We present a case study featuring a first-year bio-science university student using computation to solve a radioactive decay problem and interpret the results. In a semi-structured…
