Developing a learning goal framework for computational thinking in computationally integrated physics classrooms
Daniel P. Weller, Theodore E. Bott, Marcos D. Caballero +1
Computational thinking has been a recent focus of education research within the sciences. However, there is a dearth of scholarly literature on how best to teach and to assess this…
Using disciplinary perspectives to refine conceptions of the "real world"
Abhilash Nair, Paul Irving, Vashti Sawtelle
It has been reported that students often leave the introductory physics classroom believing that physics is less connected to the real world than when they entered. In this paper w…
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…
Teaching Computation in Introductory Physics using Complex Problems
Marcos. D. Caballero, Michael J. Obsniuk, Paul W. Irving
Computation is a central aspect of modern science and engineering work, and yet, computational instruction has yet to fully pervade university STEM curricula. In physics, we have b…
Identity statuses in upper-division physics students
Paul W. Irving, Eleanor C. Sayre
We use the theories of identity statuses and communities of practice to describe three different case studies of students finding their paths through undergraduate physics and deve…
