Characterizing lab instructors' self-reported learning goals to inform development of an experimental modeling skills assessment
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Laura Ríos, Benjamin Pollard +2
The ability to develop, use, and refine models of experimental systems is a nationally recognized learning outcome for undergraduate physics lab courses. However, no assessments of…
Student ownership of projects in an upper-division optics laboratory course: A multiple case study of successful experiences
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Jacob T. Stanley, H. J. Lewandowski
We investigate students' sense of ownership of multiweek final projects in an upper-division optics lab course. Using a multiple case study approach, we describe three student proj…
Student reasoning about measurement uncertainty in an introductory lab course
H. J. Lewandowski, Robert Hobbs, Jacob T. Stanley +2
Proficiency with calculating, reporting, and understanding measurement uncertainty is a nationally recognized learning outcome for undergraduate physics lab courses. The Physics Me…
Impact of an introductory lab on students' understanding of measurement uncertainty
Benjamin Pollard, Robert Hobbs, Jacob T. Stanley +2
Physics lab courses are an essential part of the physics undergraduate curriculum. Learning goals for these classes often include the ability to interpret measurements and uncertai…
Instructor perspectives on iteration during upper-division optics lab activities
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Jacob T. Stanley, H. J. Lewandowski
Although developing proficiency with modeling is a nationally endorsed learning outcome for upper-division undergraduate physics lab courses, no corresponding research-based assess…
Personalized instructor responses to guided student reflections: Analysis of two instructors' perspectives and practices
Daniel L. Reinholz, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer
One way to foster a supportive culture in physics departments is for instructors to provide students with personal attention regarding their academic difficulties. To this end, we…
