We propose a pedagogical, rationalized MKS-based convention for electromagnetic quantities designed to reduce cognitive load in undergraduate undergraduate electromagnetism. By setting vacuum constant…
This article discusses incorrect statements appearing in textbooks on quantum field theory (QFT); some of these mistakes also appear in the research literature. The focus is not on errors made by an i…
The Controlled-Not (CNOT) gate is essential to algorithms in quantum computing for its ability to entangle qubits. As such, it is important to understand how students learning quantum computing reason…
The method of images (MoI) is a valuable technique for solving certain electrostatic boundary value problems consisting of charge density near conductor(s). We developed and validated an inquiry-based…
Learning to think like a physicist (LTP) is often cited as a central goal of graduate physics education, yet what this means in practice and the extent to which physics graduate education prepares stu…
Analyzing the motion of a roller coaster allows for an instructive introduction of various theoretical concepts in a concrete and enjoyable context. We start by modeling the roller coaster train as a …
We describe a novel masters-level projects class that teaches robotics along the traditional robotics pipeline (dynamics, state estimation, controls, planning). One key motivational part is that stude…
The aim of this study is to investigate the decisions and reasoning of undergraduate students when choosing simple measurement instruments in an introductory physics laboratory course. For this study,…
Over the past several decades, a large body of research has shown that undergraduate science students learn more and more equitably in classrooms that are not entirely lecture-based. Non-lecture activ…
According to the literature, mobile devices as experimental tools (MDET) can offer educational benefits by creating authentic, real-life contexts for physics learning, enhancing student motivation thr…
Physics education research (PER) studies how students learn physics, yet the nuances of student reasoning can be notoriously difficult to probe even for PER practitioners. This article presents the st…
We study whether latent motivation signals in short Spanish admission responses predict engagement and performance in an early quantum computing pathway run by QuantumHub Peru. We analyze N=241 applic…
The rapid growth of quantum information science and technology (QIST) in the 21st century has created both excitement and uncertainty about the field's trajectory. This qualitative study presents pers…
Understanding the mechanisms of student sensemaking while navigating the physics problem-solving process can play an important role in developing approaches to helping students become proficient probl…
Understanding how an instructional approach shapes student's cognitive resources and engagement is central to improving undergraduate physics education especially for novice learners. This study exami…
Evidence-based education has become a central concept in science education, with meta-analyses often regarded as the gold standard for informing practice. This emphasis raises critical questions conce…
Project Based Learning (PBL), recognized as an active learning strategy, has been linked to self efficacy of student in prior studies, including those within Physics Education Research. Meanwhile, tec…
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems can now reliably solve many standard tasks used in introductory physics courses, producing correct equations, graphs, and explanations. While this capab…
We present a ground-up redesign of the undergraduate physics degree at Loughborough University, driven by the principle of authenticity in academic and industrial practice. Departing from conventional…
Integrating computation into physics teaching is a curricular move that, at present, has been predominately studied for its cognitive impacts. However, if this modality of instruction shifts how stude…
