Maries, Alexandru; Sayer, Ryan; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Research suggests that introductory physics students often have difficulty using a concept in contexts different from the ones in which they learned it without explicit guidance to help them make the connection between the different contexts. We have been investigating advanced students' learning of quantum mechanics concepts and have developed…

Sayer, Ryan; Maries, Alexandru; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Learning quantum mechanics is challenging, even for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Research-validated interactive tutorials that build on students' prior knowledge can be useful tools to enhance student learning. We have been investigating student difficulties with quantum mechanics pertaining to the double-slit experiment in…
