We propose a pedagogical, rationalized MKS-based convention for electromagnetic quantities designed to reduce cognitive load in undergraduate undergraduate electromagnetism. By setting vacuum constant…
Guiding others through authentic scientific research outside of PhD programs has been practiced for decades in specialized secondary schools, undergraduate research programs, and independent settings.…
In 1949, Captain Alberto Larraguibel and his horse Huaso set the world record for equestrian high jump in Vi\~na del Mar, Chile, by clearing a height of 2.47 meters, a mark that remains unbeaten. This…
We describe a magnetically driven torsional oscillator that is well suited for teaching the physics of simple harmonic motion using a collection of hands-on, quantitative experiments. The mechanical Q…
We present a low-cost experimental setup to measure the Boltzmann constant (kB) and the elementary charge (e) through thermal and shot noise, achieving relative accuracies of up to 1%. The system util…
The rapid advancement of LLMs has generated growing interest in their potential role in physics education and assessment, yet a focused evaluation of their performance on multi-faceted, free-response …
Smartphones equipped with sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers offer valuable opportunities for physics education, allowing students to measure motion using their own devices.…
The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is driving the transformation of physics education from traditional models to intelligent and data-driven approaches. To explore the evoluti…
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…
The spreading of a thin viscous fluid film on a horizontal surface is an interesting problem in fluid mechanics with many practical applications ranging from coating processes to biological systems an…
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…
As Generative AI becomes a key component in physics education, a significant ethical challenge has emerged: the tendency of students to anthropomorphize Large Language Models (LLMs), treating them as …
I share some personal thoughts on the status of Portuguese secondary education in general, and of the physics part thereof in particular, drawn from several decades of experience of organizing trainin…
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…
This exploratory study examines the classroom deployment of aiPlato, an AI-enabled homework platform, in a large introductory physics course at the University of Texas at Arlington. Designed to suppor…
Multiple external representations (MERs) and personalized feedback support physics learning, yet evidence on how personalized feedback can effectively integrate MERs remains limited. This question is …
The purpose of this work is to explore a teaching methodology aimed at communicating topics and subjects not typically studied and analyzed in the (Italian) secondary school. We focused specifically o…
Kinematics is a core topic in early physics courses, yet students often struggle to interpret motion and its graphical representations. To tackle these difficulties, we developed MissionMotion, a phys…
The accelerating global development of quantum technologies strengthens the case for introducing quantum computing concepts before university. Yet in Latin America, there is no consolidated, region wi…
