Reflection and Self-Monitoring in Quantum Mechanics
Andrew Mason, Chandralekha Singh
An assumed attribute of expert physicists is that they learn readily from their own mistakes. Experts are unlikely to make the same mistakes when asked to solve a problem a second…
Assessing Expertise in Quantum Mechanics using Categorization Task
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
We discuss the categorization of 20 quantum mechanics problems by 6 physics professors and 22 undergraduate students from two honors-level quantum mechanics courses. Professors and…
Cognitive Issues in Learning Advanced Physics: An Example from Quantum Mechanics
Chandralekha Singh, Guangtian Zhu
We are investigating cognitive issues in learning quantum mechanics in order to develop effective teaching and learning tools. The analysis of cognitive issues is particularly impo…
Coordination of Mathematics and Physical Resources by Physics Graduate Students
Ayush Gupta, Edward F. Redish, David Hammer
We investigate the dynamics of how graduate students coordinate their mathematics and physics knowledge within the context of solving a homework problem for a plasma physics survey…
