Design and Initial Evaluation of a Photovoltaics-focused Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience in Physics
Rachael L. Merritt, H. J. Lewandowski
Traditional physics laboratory courses often focus on experiments with well-known results, limiting students' engagement in authentic scientific practices. Course-based undergradua…
Representational differences in how students compare measurements
Gayle Geschwind, Michael Vignal, H. J. Lewandowski
Measurement uncertainty plays a critical role in the process of experimental physics. It is useful to be able to assess student proficiency around the topic to iteratively improve…
Seeing quantum effects in experiments
Victoria Borish, H. J. Lewandowski
Quantum mechanics is a field often considered very mathematical, abstract, and unintuitive. One way some instructors are hoping to help familiarize their students with these comple…
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…
Implementation and goals of quantum optics experiments in undergraduate instructional labs
Victoria Borish, H. J. Lewandowski
As quantum information science and technology (QIST) is becoming more prevalent and occurring not only in research labs but also in industry, many educators are considering how bes…
