Modeling student pathways in a physics bachelor's degree program
John M. Aiken, Rachel Henderson, Marcos D. Caballero
Physics education research has used quantitative modeling techniques to explore learning, affect, and other aspects of physics education. However, these studies have rarely examine…
Identifying features predictive of faculty integrating computation into physics courses
Nicholas T. Young, Grant Allen, John M. Aiken +2
Computation is a central aspect of 21st century physics practice; it is used to model complicated systems, to simulate impossible experiments, and to analyze mountains of data. Phy…
The difficulties associated with integrating computation into undergraduate physics
Ashleigh Leary, Paul W. Irving, Marcos D. Caballero
From a department being resistant to change to students not buying into the new computational activities, the challenges that are faced with integrating computation into the physic…
Denoting and Comparing Leadership Attributes and Behaviors in Group Work
Kristina Griswold, Daryl McPadden, Marcos D. Caballero +1
Projects and Practices in Physics (P) is an introductory physics class at Michigan State University that replaces lectures with a problem based learning environment. To promote…
How computation can facilitate sensemaking about physics: A case study
Odd Petter Sand, Tor Ole B. Odden, Christine Lindstrøm +1
We present a case study featuring a first-year bio-science university student using computation to solve a radioactive decay problem and interpret the results. In a semi-structured…
What counts in laboratories: toward a practice-based identity survey
Kelsey Funkhouser, Marcos D. Caballero, Paul W. Irving +1
An essential step in the process of developing a physics identity is the opportunity to engage in authentic physics practices - an ideal place to gain these experiences is physics…
