Nothing's plenty: The significance of null results in physics education research

Luke D. Conlin, Eric Kuo, Nicole R. Hallinen

A central aim of physics education research is to understand the processes of learning and use that understanding to inform instruction. To this end, researchers often conduct stud…

Making Space to Sensemake: Epistemic Distancing in Small Group Physics Discussions

Luke D. Conlin, Rachel E. Scherr

Students in inquiry science classrooms face an essential tension between sharing new ideas and critically evaluating those ideas. Both sides of this tension pose affective risks th…

How substance-based ontologies for gravity can be productive: A case study

Ayush Gupta, Andrew Elby, Luke D. Conlin

Many science education researchers have argued that learners' commitment to a substance (matter-based) ontology impedes the learning of scientific concepts that scientists typicall…

Where to find the mind: Identifying the scale of cognitive dynamics

Luke Conlin, Ayush Gupta, David Hammer

There are ongoing divisions in the learning sciences between perspectives that treat cognition as occurring within individual minds and those that treat it as irreducibly distribut…
