Direct linkSundstrom, 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,…

Steinberg, Richard; Cormier, Sebastien – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
This study reports on a content course for science immersion teacher candidates that emphasized authentic practice of science and thinking scientifically in the context of introductory astrophysics. We explore how 122 science teacher candidates spanning three cohorts did and did not reason scientifically and how this evolved in our program. Our…

Kelly, Angela M. – Physics Teacher, 2011
One of the greatest challenges in teaching physics is helping students achieve a conceptual understanding of Newton's laws. I find that students fresh from middle school can sometimes recite the laws verbatim ("An object in motion stays in motion..." and "For every action..."), but they rarely demonstrate a working knowledge of…

Zacharia, Zacharias – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) what effect the use of interactive computer-based simulations (ICBSs), the use of laboratory inquiry-based experiments (LIBEs), and the use of combinations of an ICBS and a LIBE, in a conceptually oriented physics course, have on science teachers' beliefs about and attitudes toward the use of these…
