Project-based learning is recognized as an effective approach for improving engagement and applied understanding in STEM education. In quantum engineering courses, however, the question is no longer o…
STEM education researchers are often interested in identifying moments of students' mechanistic reasoning for deeper analysis, but have limited capacity to search through many team conversation transc…
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.…
Machine learning (ML) is transforming modern physics research, but practical, hands-on experience with ML techniques remains limited due to cost and complexity barriers. To address this gap, we introd…
The Physics Lab Inventory of Critical Thinking (PLIC) measures three components of students' critical thinking in physics labs: evaluating data, evaluating methods, and proposing next steps. Prior wor…
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…
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 …
The teapot effect refers to the tendency of a poured liquid to cling to the lip of a container and run down the outside. It is a familiar but physically rich example of flow separation. We present a l…
As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly considered for automated assessment and feedback, understanding when LLM marking can be trusted is essential. We evaluate LLM-as-a-judge marking across…
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…
Generative Artificial Intelligence (gen-AI) is rapidly becoming more integrated into today's classrooms in all ranges of education. In higher education, Gen-AI is often seen as a resource for students…
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 …
Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is becoming increasingly prevalent and capable in physics, particularly for programming-related tasks. How, then, does genAI affect students' computational m…
Particle Dobble is an open-access, gamified learning tool designed to address persistent misconceptions in particle physics education by symbolically representing elements of the Standard Model. Aimed…
The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is the world's most prestigious and renowned physics competition for pre-university students. IPhO problems require complex reasoning based on deep understand…
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…
This study discusses the opportunity to integrate tinkering, a constructionist practice, into formal education, highlighting its potential and challenges. We propose a model through which teachers can…
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 advancement of quantum information science and technology (QIST) has generated significant attention from people in academia, industry, and the public. Recent advances in QIST have led to bo…
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…
