Wu, David G.; Heim, Ashley B.; Sundstrom, Meagan; Walsh, Cole; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
As physics laboratory courses (labs) transition from traditional, model-verifying activities to discovery-based investigations, it becomes crucial to understand the role of the instructor in the implementation of various lab types. Prior work has started to address this need by examining either coarse-grained frequencies or fine-grained content of…

Sundstrom, Meagan; Wu, David G.; Walsh, Cole; Heim, Ashley B.; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Understanding social interactions among students comprises a rich area of physics education research. Here we focus on the social interactions in introductory physics laboratories (labs). Most existing research in such contexts focuses on within-group social dynamics, however, we argue that interactions between different lab groups are just as…

Sundstrom, Meagan; Schang, Andy; Heim, Ashley B.; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Engaging in interactions with peers is important for student learning. Many studies have quantified patterns of student interactions in in-person physics courses using social network analysis, finding different network structures between instructional contexts (lecture and laboratory) and styles (active and traditional). Such studies also find…

Sundstrom, Meagan; Heim, Ashley B.; Park, Barum; Holmes, N. G. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Researchers have pinpointed recognition from others as one of the most important dimensions of students' science and engineering identity. Studies, however, have found gender biases in students' recognition of their peers, with inconsistent patterns across introductory science and engineering courses. Toward finding the source of this variation,…
