The Gendered Cost of Lower Grades: Women's Physics Perceived Recognition and Identity Suffer Disproportionately If They Earn Less Than A Grade
Jaya Shivangani Kashyap, Christian D. Schunn, Chandralekha Singh
Perceptions of disciplinary recognition and identity can be shaped by various forms of feedback and experiences. Here we focus on the potential effects of course grades on the perc…
Instructor Framing and Incentives Shape Physics Students' Engagement and Learning Gains from an Inquiry-Based Electrostatics Tutorial on the Method of Images
Jaya Shivangani Kashyap, Robert P. Devaty, Chandralekha Singh
The method of images (MoI) is a valuable technique for solving certain electrostatic boundary value problems consisting of charge density near conductor(s). We developed and valida…
Student sensemaking on electrostatics problems involving the method of images through the lens of epistemic game framework
Jaya Shivangani Kashyap, Chandralekha Singh
Understanding the mechanisms of student sensemaking while navigating the physics problem-solving process can play an important role in developing approaches to helping students bec…
Investigating High School and Pre-High School Teachers' Perceptions and Experiences Introducing Quantum Concepts: A Survey of QuanTime and other Quantum-related Activities
Apekshya Ghimire, Jaya Shivangani Kashyap, Emily Edwards +2
This study investigates the experiences of pre-high and high school teachers in implementing QuanTime and other quantum-related activities aiming to promote quantum literacy and in…
When Support Hides Progress: Insights from a Physics Tutorial on Solving Laplace's Equation Using Separation of Variables in Cartesian Coordinates
Jaya Shivangani Kashyap, Robert Devaty, Chandralekha Singh
The electrostatic potential in certain types of boundary value problems can be found by solving Laplace's Equation (LE). To develop students' ability for solving problems that can…
