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…

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…
