When negative is not "less than zero": Electric charge as a signed quantity
Alexis Olsho, Suzanne White Brahmia, Andrew Boudreaux +1
Electromagnetism (E&M) is often challenging for students enrolled in introductory college-level physics courses. Compared to mechanics, the mathematics of E&M is more sophisticated…
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…
A Conceptual Blend Analysis of Physics Quantitative Literacy Reasoning Inventory Items
Suzanne White Brahmia, Alexis Olsho, Andrew Boudreaux +2
Mathematical reasoning flexibility across physics contexts is a desirable learning outcome of introductory physics, where the math world and physical world meet. Physics Quantitati…
Developing a reasoning inventory for measuring physics quantitative literacy
Trevor I. Smith, Suzanne W. Brahmia, Alexis Olsho +6
In an effort to improve the quality of citizen engagement in workplace, politics, and other domains in which quantitative reasoning plays an important role, Quantitative Literacy (…
