Epistemic Complexity and the Journeyman-Expert Transition
Thomas J. Bing, Edward F. Redish
Physics students can encounter difficulties in physics problem solving as a result of failing to use knowledge that they have but do not perceive as relevant or appropriate. In pre…
Analyzing Problem Solving Using Math in Physics: Epistemological Framing via Warrants
Thomas J. Bing, Edward F. Redish
Developing expertise in physics entails learning to use mathematics effectively and efficiently as applied to the context of physical situations. Doing so involves coordinating a v…
Using Warrants As a Window to Epistemic Framing
Thomas J. Bing, Edward F. Redish
Mathematics can serve many functions in physics. It can provide a computational system, reflect a physical idea, conveniently encode a rule, and so forth. A physics student thus ha…
Symbolic Manipulators Affect Mathematical Mindsets
Thomas J. Bing, Edward F. Redish
Symbolic calculators like Mathematica are becoming more commonplace among upper level physics students. The presence of such a powerful calculator can couple strongly to the type o…
