Integrating noise into PhET simulations to promote student learning of measurement uncertainty
Qiaoyi Liu, Matthew Blackman, Gayle Geschwind +3
Understanding concepts and practices of measurement uncertainty is a core competency of physicists and engineers, and many physics lab courses aim to have students learn these idea…
Development of a global landscape of undergraduate physics laboratory courses
Gayle Geschwind, Micol Alemani, Michael F. J. Fox +3
Physics Education Research (PER) is a global endeavour, with a wealth of work performed at a variety of institutions worldwide. However, results from research into undergraduate ph…
Representational differences in how students compare measurements
Gayle Geschwind, Michael Vignal, H. J. Lewandowski
Measurement uncertainty plays a critical role in the process of experimental physics. It is useful to be able to assess student proficiency around the topic to iteratively improve…
Overview of couplet scoring in content-focused physics assessments
Michael Vignal, Gayle Geschwind, Marcos D. Caballero +1
Content-focused research-based assessment instruments typically use items (i.e., questions) as the unit of assessment for scoring, reporting, and validation. Couplet scoring employ…
