Leveraging generative artificial intelligence for simulation-based physics experiments: A new approach to virtual learning about the real world
Yossi Ben-Zion, Turhan K. Carroll, Colin G. West +2
This study investigates the impact of a novel application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in physics instruction: engaging students in prompting, refining, and validatin…
Landscape of Quantum Information Science and Engineering Education: From Physics Foundations to Interdisciplinary Frontiers
A. R. Piña, Shams El-Adawy, Mike Verostek +8
Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) is rapidly gaining interest from those within many disciplines and higher education needs to adapt to the changing landscape. Alt…
Coronal Heating as Determined by the Solar Flare Frequency Distribution Obtained by Aggregating Case Studies
James Paul Mason, Alexandra Werth, Colin G. West +999
Flare frequency distributions represent a key approach to addressing one of the largest problems in solar and stellar physics: determining the mechanism that counter-intuitively he…
Advances in apparent conceptual physics reasoning in GPT-4
Colin G. West
ChatGPT is built on a large language model trained on an enormous corpus of human text to emulate human conversation. Despite lacking any explicit programming regarding the laws of…
AI and the FCI: Can ChatGPT Project an Understanding of Introductory Physics?
Colin G. West
ChatGPT is a groundbreaking ``chatbot"--an AI interface built on a large language model that was trained on an enormous corpus of human text to emulate human conversation. Beyond i…
Lessons for instructor-student interactions in physics from the world of improvisational theater
Colin G. West
A considerable share of the literature on physics education and on education more broadly focuses on the principles which should guide the design of courses and of classroom activi…
Student-created physics problems as an independent and equitable assessment tool
Bruce A. Schumm, Joy Ishii, Colin G. West
Traditional high-stakes summative assessments--timed, in-class exams accounting for a large percentage of the term's overall grade--have often received criticism from the education…
