Selection, Generalization, and Theories of Cause in Case-Oriented Physics Education Research
Amy D. Robertson, Sarah B. McKagan, Rachel E. Scherr
Case-oriented physics education research - which seeks to refine and develop theory by linking that theory to cases - incorporates distinct practices for selecting data for analysi…
Paradigms in Physics Education Research
Amy D. Robertson, Rachel E. Scherr, Sarah B. McKagan
In this paper, we describe two paradigms in physics education research (PER): recurrence-oriented and case-oriented PER. We connect theory on research methodologies in the social s…
Gender gap on concept inventories in physics: what is consistent, what is inconsistent, and what factors influence the gap?
Adrian Madsen, Sarah B. McKagan, Eleanor C. Sayre
We review the literature on the gender gap on concept inventories in physics. Across studies of the most commonly used mechanics concept inventories, the Force Concept Inventory (F…
