Continue readingPhysics is less diverse than other physical sciences. Do graduate school admission processes contribute to this?
Continue readingLabs have been a standard part of the physics curriculum. Today’s paper suggests that labs don’t help students develop physics knowledge beyond what is already covered in other parts of the course.
Continue readingUsing multiple representations is central to the study of physics. Today we look at how well students can change between representations of linear functions.
Continue readingThere is only so much class time during a semester which may make it difficult to incorporate research based assessments. Can we just give them online?
Continue readingStudent evaluations of instruction are widely used to evaluate instructors. Today’s article suggests these are not correlated with student learning.
Continue readingWorkshops are successful in introducing new teaching strategies but less so in sustaining them. How the strategies are introduced matters.
Continue readingA student’s network could have an impact on whether they decide to continue their degree program. Today’s paper looks into this issue.
Continue readingWhat are the demographics of future physics teachers & are any of those characteristics associated with their performance on certification exams?
Continue readingActive learning methods are thought to be more costly to implement than traditional lectures. Is this common belief actually the case and if so, what does that mean for their implementation?
