In a physics curriculum only introductory physics course grades show gender differences but do not predict future course performance for physics majors
Kyle M. Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
Analysis of institutional data for physics majors showing predictive relationships between required mathematics and physics courses in various years is important for contemplating…
All aboard! Challenges and successes in professional development for physics lab TAs
Danny Doucette, Russell Clark, Chandralekha Singh
At large research universities in the USA, introductory physics labs are often run by graduate student teaching assistants (TAs). Thus, efforts to reform introductory labs should a…
What's happening in traditional and inquiry-based introductory labs? An integrative analysis at a large research university
Danny Doucette, Russell Clark, Chandralekha Singh
There is a growing recognition of the need to replace "cookbook"-style introductory labs with more-meaningful learning experiences. To identify the strengths and weaknesses of a mi…
Hermione and the Secretary: How gendered task division in introductory physics labs can disrupt equitable learning
Danny Doucette, Russell Clark, Chandralekha Singh
Physics labs provide a unique opportunity for students to grow their physics identity and science identity in general since they provide students with opportunity to tinker with ex…
Comparing introductory physics and astronomy students' attitudes and approaches to problem solving
Melanie Good, Andrew Mason, Chandralekha Singh
We examined how introductory physics students' attitudes and approaches to problem solving compare to those of introductory astronomy students, using a previously validated survey,…
Physics teaching assistants' views of different types of introductory problems: Challenge of perceiving the instructional benefits of context-rich and multiple-choice problems
Melanie Good, Emily Marshman, Edit Yerushalmi +1
Given a physics scenario, different problem types presenting that scenario in various ways can emphasize different instructional goals. In this investigation, we examined the views…
