Challenges in designing appropriate scaffolding to improve students' representational consistency: The case of a Gauss's law problem
Alexandru Maries, Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
Prior research suggest that introductory physics students have difficulty with graphing and interpreting graphs. Here, we discuss an investigation of student difficulties in transl…
The impact of students' epistemological framing on a task requiring representational consistency
Alexandru Maries, Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
The ability to flexibly transform between different representations (e.g., from mathematical to graphical representations) of the same concept is a hallmark of expertise. Prior res…
Exploring University Students' Engagement with Online Video Lectures in a Blended Introductory Mechanics Course
Shih-Yin Lin, John M. Aiken, Daniel T. Seaton +4
The advent of MOOCs has stimulated interest in using online videos to deliver content in university courses. We examined student engagement with 78 online videos that we created an…
Assessing Expertise in Quantum Mechanics using Categorization Task
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
We discuss the categorization of 20 quantum mechanics problems by 6 physics professors and 22 undergraduate students from two honors-level quantum mechanics courses. Professors and…
Categorization of Quantum Mechanics Problems by Professors and Students
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
We discuss the categorization of 20 quantum mechanics problems by physics professors and undergraduate students from two honors-level quantum mechanics courses. Professors and stud…
Challenges in Analogical Reasoning
Shih-Yin Lin, Chandralekha Singh
Learning physics requires understanding the applicability of fundamental principles in a variety of contexts that share deep features. One way to help students learn physics is via…
