A critical review of pre-post surveys designed to measure student epistemology in undergraduate science courses
Kyriaki Chatzikyriakidou, Kristi L. Hall, Edward F. Redish +1
The epistemology of science students, i.e., their beliefs about the nature of the knowledge they are learning, about what they have to do to learn it, and about how they will use t…
Using math in physics: 7. Telling the story
Edward F. Redish
Even if students can make the blend, interpret physics correctly in mathematical symbology and graphs, they still need to be able to apply that knowledge in productive and coherent…
Using math in physics: 6. Reading the physics in a graph
Edward F. Redish
Learning to use math in physics involves combining (blending) our everyday experiences and the conceptual ideas of physics with symbolic mathematical representations. Graphs are on…
The role physics can play in a multi-disciplinary curriculum for non-physics scientists and engineers
Edward F. Redish, Vashti Sawtelle, Chandra Turpen
At many physics departments a significant fraction of teaching is in support of engineers and scientists in other majors. These service courses are thus an automatic crucible of in…
Using math in physics: 5. Functional dependence
Edward F. Redish
When students are learning to use math in physics, one of the most important ideas they need to learn is that equations are not just calculational tools; they represent relationshi…
Using math in physics -- 3. Anchor equations
Edward F. Redish
An important step in learning to use math in science is learning to see physics equations as not just calculational tools, but as ways of expressing fundamental relationships among…
