Student and AI responses to physics problems examined through the lenses of sensemaking and mechanistic reasoning
Amogh Sirnoorkar, Dean Zollman, James T. Laverty +3
Several reports in education have called for transforming physics learning environments by promoting sensemaking of real-world scenarios in light of curricular ideas. Recent advanc…
Case Study: Coordinating Among Multiple Semiotic Resources to Solve Complex Physics Problems
Nandana Weliweriya, Eleanor C Sayre, Dean A Zollman
This work examines student meaning-making in undergraduate physics problem-solving. We use a social semiotic perspective to sketch a theoretical framework. The social semiotic appr…
Student and instructor framing in upper-division physics
Deepa N Chari, Hai D Nguyen, Dean A Zollman +1
Upper-division physics students spend much of their time solving problems. In addition to their basic skills and background, their epistemic framing can form an important part of t…
The effectiveness of 'pencasts' in physics courses
Nandana Weliweriya, Eleanor C Sayre, Dean A Zollman
Pencasts are videos of problem solving with narration by the problem solver. Pedagogically, students can create pencasts to illustrate their own problem solving to the instructor o…
Varied reasoning schema in students' written solutions
Nandana Weliweriya, Justyna P. Zwolak, Eleanor C. Sayre +1
The Mathematization project investigates students' use of mathematical tools across the undergraduate physics curriculum. As a part of this project, we look at intermediate mechani…
