Student ownership and understanding of multi-week final projects
Ira Ché Lassen, Acacia Arielle-Evans, Laura Ríos +2
National calls to transform laboratory courses by making them more discovery-based can be met by engaging students in multi-week final projects. One plausible outcome of this appro…
Preliminary model for student ownership of projects
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Laura Ríos, H. J. Lewandowski
In many upper-division lab courses, instructors implement multiweek student-led projects. During such projects, students may design and carry out experiments, collect and analyze d…
Using think-aloud interviews to characterize model-based reasoning in electronics for a laboratory course assessment
Laura Ríos, Benjamin Pollard, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer +1
Models of physical systems are used to explain and predict experimental results and observations. The Modeling Framework for Experimental Physics describes the process by which phy…
Pathways to proposing causes for unexpected experimental results
Laura Ríos, Benjamin Pollard, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer +1
Models of physical systems are used to explain and predict experimental results and observations. When students encounter discrepancies between the actual and expected behavior of…
Characterizing lab instructors' self-reported learning goals to inform development of an experimental modeling skills assessment
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Laura Ríos, Benjamin Pollard +2
The ability to develop, use, and refine models of experimental systems is a nationally recognized learning outcome for undergraduate physics lab courses. However, no assessments of…
