Assessing physics quantitative literacy development in algebra-based physics
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Trevor I. Smith +2
Quantitative reasoning is an essential learning objective of physics instruction. The Physics Inventory for Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) is an assessment tool that has been develop…
A framework for characterizing covariational reasoning in physics
Alexis Olsho, Charlotte Zimmerman, Suzanne White Brahmia
Covariational reasoning--considering how changes in one quantity affect another, related quantity--is a foundation of quantitative modeling in physics. Understanding quantitative m…
Empirical evidence of the inseparability of mathematics and physics in expert reasoning about novel graphing tasks
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +1
Pre-college mathematics modeling instruction often frames mathematics as being separated from reasoning about the real world -- and commonly treats reasoning mathematically and rea…
Expert covariational reasoning resources in physics graphing tasks
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +1
Developing and making sense of quantitative models is a core practice of physics. Covariational reasoning -- considering how the changes in one quantity affect changes in another,…
Identifying Covariational Reasoning Behaviors in Expert Physicists in Graphing Tasks
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +1
Covariational reasoning -- how one thinks about the way changes in one quantity affect another quantity -- is essential to calculus and physics instruction alike. As physics is oft…
Towards understanding and characterizing expert covariational reasoning in physics
Charlotte Zimmerman, Alexis Olsho, Michael Loverude +3
Relating two quantities to describe a physical system or process is at the heart of "doing physics" for novices and experts alike. In this paper, we explore the ways in which exper…
