How do we assess computation in physics?
Hannah C. Sabo, Tor Ole B. Odden, Marcos D. Caballero
In recent years, computing has become an important part of the way we teach and learn physics. Teachers, both at high school and college levels, now use computational activities in…
Overview of couplet scoring in content-focused physics assessments
Michael Vignal, Gayle Geschwind, Marcos D. Caballero +1
Content-focused research-based assessment instruments typically use items (i.e., questions) as the unit of assessment for scoring, reporting, and validation. Couplet scoring employ…
Survey of physics reasoning on uncertainty concepts in experiments: an assessment of measurement uncertainty for introductory physics labs
Michael Vignal, Gayle Geschwind, Benjamin Pollard +3
Measurement uncertainty is a critical feature of experimental research in the physical sciences, and the concepts and practices surrounding measurement uncertainty are important co…
Students' perspectives on computational challenges in physics class
Patti Hamerski, Daryl McPadden, Marcos D. Caballero +1
High school science classrooms across the United States are answering calls to make computation a part of science learning. The problem is that there is little known about the barr…
Rubric-based holistic review represents a change from traditional graduate admissions approaches in physics
Nicholas T. Young, N. Verboncoeur, Dao Chi Lam +1
Rubric-based admissions are claimed to help make the graduate admissions process more equitable, possibly helping to address the historical and ongoing inequities in the U.S. physi…
Rubric-based holistic review: a promising route to equitable graduate admissions in physics
Nicholas T. Young, K. Tollefson, Remco G. T. Zegers +1
As systematic inequities in higher education and society have been brought to the forefront, graduate programs are interested in increasing the diversity of their applicants and en…
