Interactional processes for stabilizing conceptual coherences in physics
Brian W. Frank, Rachel E. Scherr
Research in student knowledge and learning of science has typically focused on explaining conceptual change. Recent research, however, documents the great degree to which student t…
Probing Student Understanding With Alternative Questioning Strategies
Jeffrey M. Hawkins, Brian W. Frank, John R. Thompson +2
Common research tasks ask students to identify a correct answer and justify their answer choice. We propose expanding the array of research tasks to access different knowledge that…
Students' Responses To Different Representations Of A Vector Addition Question
Jeffrey M. Hawkins, John R. Thompson, Michael C. Wittmann +2
We investigate if the visual representation of vectors can affect which methods students use to add them. We gave students one of four questions with different graphical representa…
Multiple Conceptual Coherences in the Speed Tutorial: Micro-processes of Local Stability
