Towards a Model of Systemic Change in University STEM Education
Daniel L. Reinholz, Joel C. Corbo, Melissa H. Dancy +2
Despite numerous calls for the transformation of undergraduate STEM education, there is still a lack of successful models for creating large-scale, systemic cultural changes in STE…
A Framework for Transforming Departmental Culture to Support Educational Innovation
Joel C. Corbo, Daniel L. Reinholz, Melissa H. Dancy +2
This paper provides a research-based framework for promoting institutional change in higher education. To date, most educational change efforts have focused on relatively narrow su…
Model-Based Reasoning in the Upper-Division Physics Laboratory: Framework and Initial Results
Benjamin M. Zwickl, Dehui Hu, Noah Finkelstein +1
We review and extend existing frameworks on modeling to develop a new framework that describes model-based reasoning in upper-division physics labs. Constructing and using models a…
Ontological Flexibility and the Learning of Quantum Mechanics
Charles Baily, Noah D. Finkelstein
One area of physics education research has focused on the nature of ontologies (mental categorizations of concepts, substances and processes), and how they might be used to gain in…
Teaching Quantum Interpretations: Revisiting the goals and practices of introductory quantum physics courses
Charles Baily, Noah D. Finkelstein
Most introductory quantum physics instructors would agree that transitioning students from classical to quantum thinking is an important learning goal, but may disagree on whether…
Studying Expert Practices to Create Learning Goals for Electronics Labs
Benjamin Pollard, Noah Finkelstein, H. J. Lewandowski
Laboratory courses for upper-division undergraduates often involve sophisticated equipment, relatively small class sizes, and extended hands-on projects. These courses present dist…
