Álvaro Suárez; Arturo C. Marti; Kristina Zuza; Jenaro Guisasola – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
We investigate learning difficulties among second-year students in electromagnetism courses when they apply Ampère-Maxwell's law. Using phenomenography, we analyzed written answers from 65 undergraduate physics students to four questions on Ampère's and Ampère-Maxwell's laws. We complemented our research by interviewing 12 students. To design the…

White, Gary; Sikorski, Tiffany-Rose; Landay, Justin; Ahmed, Maryam – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Limiting case analysis (LCA) is important to practicing physicists. Yet, there is little concrete guidance for physics educators, and a lack of consensus in the research community about how to help students learn, and learn from, limiting case analysis. In this study, we first review existing literature to find commonalities and variations in how…

Cristina Worley; Meg E. Hines – Gifted and Talented International, 2023
Research in urban and gifted education has often highlighted the underrepresentation of certain student groups in gifted programs due to factors such as insufficient teacher training and educational quality. However, a significant factor contributing to this underrepresentation is teacher bias. There's a noted tendency of teachers to under-refer…

Tillema, Erik S. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Two-hour long developmental teaching interviews were conducted with each of 14 sixth grade students, ages 11-12. The purposes of the interviews were to investigate how students solved arrangement problems (APs), and how their solutions of these problems differed from their solution of Cartesian product problems (CPPs). The 14 students represented…

Rebecca A. Cruz; Claire J. Shin; Rachel S. McClam – Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, 2024
Schools and districts have long grappled with race- and disability-based exclusionary discipline inequities. Research on the topic has uncovered a variety of systems that maintain such disparities, including school policies and practices that exacerbate the problem. Researchers and practitioners have increasingly considered school context and…
