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…
