Perspectives of Women and Men Students and Faculty on Conceptual and Quantitative Problem-Solving in Physics from Introductory to Graduate Levels
Apekshya Ghimire, Chandralekha Singh
Developing expertise in physics requires appropriate integration and assimilation of physics and mathematics. Instructors and students often describe physics courses in terms of th…
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…
TA-designed vs. research-oriented problem solutions
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh, William Mamudi +2
In order to study graduate teaching assistants (TAs) beliefs and values about the design of instructor problem solutions, twenty-four TAs were provided with different solutions and…
Using Analogies to Learn Introductory Physics
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
Identifying the relevant physics principles is a central component of problem solving. A major goal of most introductory physics courses is to help students discern the deep simila…
Improving Students' Understanding of Quantum Measurement
Guangtian Zhu, Chandralekha Singh
We describe the difficulties advanced undergraduate and graduate students have with quantum measurement. To reduce these difficulties, we have developed research-based learning too…
