Exploring the potential of ChatGPT for feedback and evaluation in experimental physics
Marcos Abreu, Álvaro Suárez, Cecilia Stari +1
This study explores how generative artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, can assist in the evaluation of laboratory reports in Experimental Physics. Two interaction modali…
Enhancing Kinematics Understanding Through a Real-Time Graph-Based Motion Video Game
Mateo Dutra, Marcos Abreu, Martín Monteiro +4
Kinematics is a core topic in early physics courses, yet students often struggle to interpret motion and its graphical representations. To tackle these difficulties, we developed M…
Exploring the potential of ChatGPT for feedback and evaluation in experimental physics
Marcos Abreu, Álvaro Suárez, Cecilia Stari +1
This study explores how generative artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, can assist in the evaluation of laboratory reports in Experimental Physics. Two interaction modali…
Revisiting the displacement current: Two key examples showing when and why it can be neglected
Alvaro Suarez, Arturo C. Marti, Martín Monteiro
This work explores the role of the displacement current in systems beyond capacitors, focusing on coaxial cables and resistors with alternating currents. Although its contribution,…
Displacement current: examples that go beyond the beaten path
Álvaro Suárez, Martín Monteiro, Arturo C. Martí
The Ampere-Maxwell's law and the displacement current constitute one of the most difficult aspects of electromagnetic theory for students in introductory electromagnetics courses.…
Understanding student challenges with circulation and Ampère-Maxwell law
Alvaro Suarez, Arturo C. Marti, Kristina Zuza +1
We investigated how students apply the concept of circulation when faced with problems related to the Ampere-Maxwell law. For this purpose, we designed a metacognitive pencil-and-p…
Learning difficulties among students when applying Ampère-Maxwell's law and its implications for teaching
Álvaro Suárez, Arturo C. Marti, Kristina Zuza +1
We investigate learning difficulties among second-year students on electromagnetism courses when they apply Ampère-Maxwell's law. Using phenomenography, we analysed written answers…
Differences in the attitudes and beliefs about science of students in the physics-mathematics and life sciences areas and their impact on teaching
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Martin Monteiro +1
For this study, we compared the attitudes and beliefs about science of physical science (physics and mathematics) and life science (biochemistry and biology) students at the beginn…
How far away is infinity? An electromagnetic exercise to develop intuition regarding models
Alvaro Suarez, Martin Monteiro, Mateo Dutra +1
The estimation of the electric field in simple situations provides an opportunity to develop intuition about the models used in physics. We propose an activity aimed at university…
What are the attitudes and beliefs about Science of the Physics teachers and future Physics teachers in Uruguay?
Álvaro Suárez, Daniel Baccino, Martín Monteiro +1
We investigated the epistemological conceptions of the uruguayan Physics teachers and future Physics teachers through the application of the CLASS test (Colorado Learning Attitudes…
Bernoulli's muddle: a research on students' misconceptions in fluid dynamics
Alvaro Suarez, Mateo Dutra, Martin Monteiro +1
Bernoulli's equation, which relates the pressure of an ideal fluid in motion with its velocity and height under certain conditions, is a central topic in General Physics courses fo…
Inconsistencies and errors in traditional approaches to energy in our introductory courses
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C. Marti +1
We present a critical analysis of the classical approaches to energy subjects, based on the work-energy theorem and the conservation of mechanical energy proposed in the courses of…
Normal coordinates in a system of coupled oscillators and influence of the masses of the springs
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Martin Monteiro +1
Experimental analysis of the motion in a system of two coupled oscillators with arbitrary initial conditions was performed and the normal coordinates were obtained directly. The sy…
An experiment to address conceptual difficulties in slipping and rolling problems
Alvaro Suárez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C. Marti
A bicycle wheel that was initially spinning freely was placed in contact with a rough surface and a digital film was made of its motion. Using Tracker software for video analysis,…
Using the Euler method in a spreadsheet to study a nonlinear oscillator
Alvaro Suarez, Fernando Tornaria
The one-dimensional nonlinear oscillations of a magnet attached to a spring and interacting with a set of magnets are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The equation of mot…
Video-based analysis of the transition from slipping to rolling
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C. Marti
The problem of a disc or cylinder initially rolling with slipping on a surface and subsequently transitioning to rolling without slipping is often cited in textbooks. The following…
A dynamical model of remote-control model cars
Álvaro Suárez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C Martí
Simple experiments for which differential equations cannot be solved analytically can be addressed using an effective model that satisfactorily reproduces the experimental data. In…
Student Conceptual Difficulties in Hydrodynamics
Alvaro Suarez, Sandra Kahan, Genaro Zavala +1
We describe a study on the conceptual difficulties faced by college students in understanding hydrodynamics of ideal fluids. This study was based on responses obtained in hundreds…
