Two-Phase Study Examining Perspectives and Use of Quantitative Methods in Physics Education Research
Direct linkKnaub, Alexis V.; Aiken, John M.; Ding, Lin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
While other fields such as statistics and education have examined various issues with quantitative work, few studies in physics education research (PER) have done so. We conducted a two-phase study to identify and to understand the extent of these issues in quantitative PER. During phase 1, we conducted a focus group of three experts in this area,…

Aucoin, Marc G.; Jolicoeur, Mario – Chemical Engineering Education, 2009
Undergraduate and graduate engineering training differ significantly. The former looks to established protocols and formulas to design and control processes while the latter often involves questioning established protocols and formulas to better suit and describe phenomena. Although we do not dispute the benefits of practical hands-on approaches,…

Eisenberg, Ellen – History Teacher, 2005
Over the last several decades, undergraduate history instruction has increasingly emphasized efforts to engage students in hands-on historical research. Texts that present students with sets of primary sources for analysis are now widely available. These texts strive to build students' research and analytical skills, and engage them in the…
