Statistical causal inference methods for observational research in PER: a primer
Vidushi Adlakha, Eric Kuo
Recent critiques of Physics Education Research (PER) studies have revoiced the critical issues when drawing causal inferences from observational data where no intervention is prese…
A new approach for uncovering student resources with multiple-choice questions
Nolan K. Weinlader, Eric Kuo, Benjamin M. Rottman +1
The traditional approach to studying student understanding presents a question and uses the student answers to make inferences about their knowledge. However, this method does not…
Using causal networks to represent the targets of resource coordination
Eric Kuo, Nolan K. Weinlader, Benjamin M. Rottman +1
The resources framework emphasizes the potential productivity of student intuitions for constructing a canonical understanding of physics. It models learning as the progressive coo…
Mathematical Sensemaking as Seeking Coherence between Calculations and Concepts: Instruction and Assessments for Introductory Physics
Eric Kuo, Michael M. Hull, Andrew Elby +1
What kind of problem-solving instruction can help students apply what they have learned to solve the new and unfamiliar problems they will encounter in the future? We propose that…
Nothing's plenty: The significance of null results in physics education research
Luke D. Conlin, Eric Kuo, Nicole R. Hallinen
A central aim of physics education research is to understand the processes of learning and use that understanding to inform instruction. To this end, researchers often conduct stud…
Seeking instructional specificity: an example from analogical instruction
Eric Kuo, Carl E. Wieman
Broad instructional methods like interactive engagement have been shown to be effective, but such general characterization provides little guidance on the details of how to structu…
Language of physics, language of math: Disciplinary culture and dynamic epistemology
Edward F. Redish, Eric Kuo
Mathematics is a critical part of much scientific research. Physics in particular weaves math extensively into its instruction beginning in high school. Despite much research on th…
How students blend conceptual and formal mathematical reasoning in solving physics problems
Eric Kuo, Michael M. Hull, Ayush Gupta +1
Current conceptions of expert problem solving depict physical/conceptual reasoning and formal mathematical reasoning as separate steps: a good problem solver first translates a phy…
