Exploring pedagogical content knowledge of physics teaching assistants using the Energy and Momentum Conceptual Survey
Liam Doyle, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
This study examines the extent to which physics graduate teaching assistants (TAs) are aware of introductory physics student thinking and the types of challenges introductory stude…
Supporting physics instructors to use a variety of evidence-based approaches to improve student learning: An example from quantum mechanics
Paul Justice, Emily Marshman, Chandralekha Singh
Physics instructors need support to successfully adopt and adapt evidence-based active engagement (EBAE) approaches because improving teaching and learning is a process and support…
Using multiple representations to improve student understanding of quantum states
Emily Marshman, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
One hallmark of expertise in physics is the ability to translate between different representations of knowledge and use the representations that make the problem-solving process ea…
Challenges in addressing student difficulties with basics and change of basis for two-state quantum systems using a multiple-choice question sequence in online and in-person classes
Peter Hu, Yangqiuting Li, Chandralekha Singh
Research-validated multiple-choice questions comprise an easy-to-implement instructional tool for scaffolding student learning and providing formative assessment of students' knowl…
Preparing Pre-College Students for the Second Quantum Revolution with Core Concepts in Quantum Information Science
Chandralekha Singh, Akash Levy, Jeremy Levy
After the passage of the US National Quantum Initiative Act in December 2018, the National Science Foundation and the Office of Science and Technology Policy assembled an interagen…
Helping students apply superposition principle in problems involving spherical, cylindrical and planar charge distributions
Jing Li, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
We describe student difficulties in applying the superposition principle in combination with Gauss's law. We addressed these difficulties by developing a tutorial that uses guided…
Helping students become proficient problem solvers Part I: A brief review
Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
Understanding issues involved in expertise in physics problem solving is important for helping students become good problem solvers. In part 1 of this article, we summarize the res…
Progression in self-efficacy, interest, identity, sense of belonging, perceived recognition and effectiveness of peer interaction of physics majors and comparison with non-majors and Ph.D. students
Kyle Whitcomb, Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
The importance of science beliefs such as self-efficacy, interest, identity, sense of belonging, perceived recognition and effectiveness of peer interaction in science education ha…
Helping students become proficient problem solvers Part II: An example from waves
Chandralekha Singh, Alexandru Maries
Helping students become proficient problem-solvers is one of the primary goals of physics courses. In part 1 of this article, we summarized the vast research on problem-solving rel…
Instructional Strategies that Foster Effective Problem-Solving
Chandralekha Singh, Alexandru Maries, Kenneth Heller +1
Helping students become proficient problem solvers is a major goal of many physics courses from introductory to advanced levels. In fact, physics has often been used by cognitive s…
The impact of perceived recognition by physics instructors on women's self-efficacy and interest
Yangqiuting Li, Chandralekha Singh
Students' self-efficacy, interest, and perceived recognition from others have been shown to be very important for the development of their identity in a given field, which is a cri…
Statistically equivalent models with different causal structures: An example from physics identity
Yangqiuting Li, Chandralekha Singh
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical method widely used in educational research to investigate relationships between variables. SEM models are typically constructed…
Gender Inequities Throughout STEM: Compared to Men, Women with Significantly Higher Grades Drop STEM Majors
Alexandru Maries, Kyle Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
Efforts to promote equity and inclusion using evidence-based approaches are vital to correcting long-standing societal inequities that have disadvantaged women and discouraged them…
