A Framework for Deductive Semantic Content Analysis at Scale in Science Education Using Text Embeddings
Jonas Timmann Mjaaland, Markus Fleten Kreutzer, Halvor Tyseng +5
Qualitative content analysis of open-ended survey responses is a commonly used research method in science education. However, traditional coding approaches are often time-consuming…
Diverse yet consistent: How mathematicians position computational thinking across research and teaching
Jan-Fredrik Olsen, Tor Ole B Odden, Elise Lockwood
Recent research in mathematics education points to an "epistemic clash" when programming and computational thinking (CT) are leveraged alongside more established forms of mathemati…
How Disciplinary Norms Influence Mathematicians' Views of Programming in Undergraduate Mathematics
Jan-Fredrik Olsen, Tor Ole B Odden
Programming is deeply embedded in contemporary mathematical practice, yet its epistemic status in university mathematics teaching remains contested. Little is known about how mathe…
How undergraduate physics students use generative AI for computational modeling
Karl Henrik Fredly, Tor Ole B. Odden, Benjamin M. Zwickl
Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is becoming increasingly prevalent and capable in physics, particularly for programming-related tasks. How, then, does genAI affect stude…
Physics Computational Literacy: Programming, modeling and collaboration at the journeyman level
Karl Henrik Fredly, Tor Ole B. Odden, Benjamin M. Zwickl
Computation has become an integral part of physics research. However, little is known about how students learn to productively use computation as a tool beyond the introductory lev…
Same Activity, Divergent Impacts: Representing Paths Towards Physics Computational Literacy and Physics Identity with Conjecture Mapping-Based Narrative Analysis
Sarah McHale, Tor Ole B. Odden, Ken Heller
Integrating computation into physics teaching is a curricular move that, at present, has been predominately studied for its cognitive impacts. However, if this modality of instruct…
