Mary Jane Brundage – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Validated conceptual multiple-choice surveys administered before and after instruction in relevant concepts can be useful tools to gauge the effectiveness of curricula and pedagogical strategies. Here we discuss the use of four different validated surveys to investigate student understanding: The Energy and Momentum Conceptual Survey (EMCS), the…

Midalisa Delgado de Jesús – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Seventh graders from a STEM school performed poorly with rational number concepts in the yearly standardized test. This research investigated the impact of a three-day professional development intervention focused on improving math teachers' self-efficacy when teaching rational numbers. The study employed a concurrent mixed-method research design…

Minkin, Leonid; Sikes, Daniel – Physics Teacher, 2022
The magnetic field of Earth, B[subscript e], is an intriguing topic in the introductory physics curriculum that engages students' curiosity and inspires numerous speculations about the nature of this phenomenon. There are several methods for measuring Earth's magnetic field. Probably, the most widespread and visual method of measuring the field in…

Eff-Darwich, Antonio – Physics Teacher, 2021
In this work, an easy-to-set-up demonstration about electromagnetic induction is presented, where a simple toy electric motor is transformed into a musical instrument. With this creative way to mix physics and music, it is expected to engage and motivate students to learn about the basic concepts of electromagnetism.

McCaughin, Patrick; Ford, Lyle – Physics Teacher, 2021
Since its debut in Elihu Thomson's 1886 article "Novel Phenomena of Alternating Currents," the Thomson jumping ring apparatus has been a popular and captivating demonstration of magnetic induction. The components are quite simple. There is a solenoid, an iron core, and a ring. The demonstration usually begins with the professor saying…

Rizcallah, Joseph A. – Physics Education, 2021
The net force and net torque exerted by a uniform magnetic field on a rigid current-carrying loop are discussed in all introductory physics textbooks. A notable omission, however, is the discussion of the equilibrium of a deformable current-carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field. In the article, we present such an analysis for the simplest case…

Romero-Abad, David – Physics Education, 2021
The calculation of the magnetic field produced by a loop current using the Biot-Savart law is a very typical exercise in introductory university physics. However, the cases studied are limited, in most textbooks, only the circular arrangement is treated. In this article, we calculate the magnetic field of an elliptical loop current along an axis…

Shufan Yu; Qingtang Liu; Jingjing Ma; Huixiao Le; Shen Ba – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Augmented reality (AR) recently shows great potential to facilitate students' learning, especially their learning performance and motivation. However, few studies considered learners' emotional factors such as learning anxiety, which may influence the learning results. This study aims to explore how different experimental conditions (AR &…

Wang, Jinhui – Physics Teacher, 2020
The distant magnetic field of a magnetic dipole is usually derived via the magnetic vector potential and substantial vector calculus. This paper presents an alternate proof that is less mathematically intensive, and that ties together various problem-solving tricks (the principle of virtual work, observation that only instantaneous quantities…

Kneubil, Fabiana Botelho – Physics Teacher, 2020
Resonance is an important, and rather dramatic, phenomenon in physics. The mechanical case of a mass-spring oscillator is generally the first example that students encounter in introductory courses. In electromagnetism, the resonance in driven RLC circuits is presented in analogy with mechanics, since the mathematical equations describing them are…

Dominik Dvorák; Silvie Rita Kucerová; Ladislav Zilcher; Zdenek Svoboda – Australian and International Journal of Rural Education, 2024
Current policies in education that support school choice can be a threat but also an opportunity for rural schools that are often at risk of closure or amalgamation/consolidation. Studies from Western Europe found two types of schools using the 'capitals' of the rural environment in different ways: 'community' and 'magnet' schools. Our…

Sheronda Yvette Rivers – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This ex-post facto quantitative study examined how a comprehensive STEM education program impacts high school students' ACT math and science scores as well as their attitudes toward STEM. Using data from one STEM-designated school, the researcher examined ACT math, science, and STEM results for students who took the ACT in the Spring of 2024,…

Sakyiwaa Boateng; Sizwe J. C. Masuku – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental areas of physics and are integral to science curricula at various educational levels. However, this area has been reported to contain several concepts that students find challenging, leading to perspectives that diverge from scientifically accepted views. This study examines the errors made by physics…

Harris, Julie C. – Urban Education, 2022
It has been 50 years since magnet schools were first used to address segregation in public schools. The context of magnet schools has changed dramatically during this time, raising questions about the role of magnet schools in a modern context. This study utilized data from a large urban district with more than 100 magnet schools to assess…

Reeves, Amber L. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
There is currently no designated policy, procedure or staff in place to facilitate the objective of increasing student yield. As a result, magnet applications and acceptance of invitations to attend Owl Middle School is approached without a strategy which makes planning difficult and negates the ability to determine effective methods. Filling…
