Transforming a large introductory lab course: impacts on views about experimental physics
Benjamin Pollard, H. J. Lewandowski
Laboratory courses are key components of most undergraduate physics programs. Lab courses often aim to achieve the following learning outcomes: developing students' experimental sk…
Initial impacts of the transformation of a large introductory lab course focused on developing experimental skills and expert epistemology
H. J. Lewandowski, Daniel R. Bolton, Benjamin Pollard
Recently, there has been increased attention to improving laboratory instruction at all levels. At the introductory level, research results have shown differing levels of success b…
Correlating students' views about experimental physics with their sense of project ownership
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, H. J. Lewandowski
Multiweek projects in physics labs can engage students in authentic experimentation practices, and it is important to understand student experiences during projects along multiple…
Pathways to proposing causes for unexpected experimental results
Laura Ríos, Benjamin Pollard, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer +1
Models of physical systems are used to explain and predict experimental results and observations. When students encounter discrepancies between the actual and expected behavior of…
The Modeling Framework for Experimental Physics: Description, development, and applications
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, H. J. Lewandowski
The ability to construct, use, and revise models is a crucial experimental physics skill. Many existing frameworks describe modeling in science education at introductory levels. Ho…
