Bridging Physics and Biology Teaching through Modeling
Anne-Marie Hoskinson, Brian A. Couch, Benjamin M. Zwickl +2
As the frontiers of biology become increasingly interdisciplinary, the physics education community has engaged in ongoing efforts to make physics classes more relevant to life scie…
The Initial State of Students Taking an Introductory Physics MOOC
John M. Aiken, Shih-Yin Lin, Scott S. Douglas +4
As part of a larger research project into massively open online courses (MOOCs), we have investigated student background, as well as student participation in a physics MOOC with a…
Analytic Framework for Students' Use of Mathematics in Upper-Division Physics
Bethany R. Wilcox, Marcos D. Caballero, Daniel A. Rehn +1
Many students in upper-division physics courses struggle with the mathematically sophisticated tools and techniques that are required for advanced physics content. We have develope…
Assessing Student Learning in Middle-Division Classical Mechanics/Math Methods
Marcos D. Caballero, Steven J. Pollock
Reliable and validated assessments of introductory physics have been instrumental in driving curricular and pedagogical reforms that lead to improved student learning. As part of a…
A Model for Incorporating Computation Without Changing the Course: An example from middle-division classical mechanics
Marcos D. Caballero, Steven J. Pollock
Much of the research done by modern physicists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing physicists, physics cu…
