Ingraham Dixie; K. Supriya – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Oliver, Kristin A.; Werth, Alexandra; Lewandowski, H. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Participation in undergraduate research experiences (UREs) has been identified as an important way of increasing undergraduate retention, interest, and identity within the sciences. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been shown to have similar outcomes to UREs but can reach a larger number of students at one time and are…

Galvão, Dindara S.; Biazzi, Renata B.; de Morais, Gustavo Chagas; Miranda, Caetano R. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2022
Arts offer an engaging opportunity to bring about women's underrepresentation issues in physics. In this work, we report the creation process, production, and reception of the short 360° video entitled 'Women in Science.' This movie maps and portrays female researchers' situation in physics at the University of Sao Paulo, a representative subset…

In this study, conceptual and algebra-based physics students were engaged in scientific inquiry using Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations via semester-long group projects. The instructor and students used the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics (SAAR) to evaluate project presentations and papers (formative assessment).…

Branchetti, Laura; Cattabriga, Alessia; Levrini, Olivia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
This paper aims to provide a contribution to the research in physics education regarding the interplay between mathematics and physics in teaching and learning physics at the university level. The argument is developed through a study focused on the historical case study of the blackbody that led Planck to make one of the most significant…

The fundamental study of physics has played a crucial role in helping to understand natural phenomena and biological processes throughout history. However, physics as a discipline has not advanced at an equal pace around the globe. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), physics research faces major challenges including gaps in human capital, infrastructural…

Pols, Freek; Dekkers, Peter; de Vries, Marc – Physics Education, 2019
Successfully carrying out a secondary school physics inquiry requires a considerable amount of procedural and content knowledge. It further requires knowledge of how and why maintaining scientific standards produces the best available answer to the given research question. To this purpose, a series of five inquiry activities was developed and…

Husnaini, Siti Jamiatul; Chen, Sufen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Indonesia and many other developing countries have a vast youth population, yet limited facilities for physics learning. The major purposes of this study are to develop low-cost, technology-enhanced physical and virtual laboratories and to investigate their effects on various learning objectives, including conceptual understanding, inquiry…

Moran, Timothy J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2009
Students and the general public are often told that the chronology of ancient events is known with high confidence, but the methods used to determine how long ago an event occurred are usually not described or even mentioned. This gives the impression that the methods are either not important or that only scientists can understand them.…

Anderson, R. Joseph; Butler, Orville R. – Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics, 2008
This project is the first systematic study of the organizational structure, communications patterns, and archival records of industrial physicists in the U.S., and it provides general guidelines for understanding and documenting their work. The study confirms that the organization and management of industrial R&D is volatile, changing in response…
