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…
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…
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…
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 …
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) outreach programs in Canada, especially those oriented towards youth, play a critical role in supporting the nation's future workforce, innovat…
Liouville's theorem -- the preservation of phase-space volume -- is often presented as a corollary of Hamilton's canonical equations. Here we adopt an ensemble-first viewpoint in which the starting po…
Explainer videos are increasingly used to support science learning. While prior research has demonstrated their potential, studies have also identified limitations - particularly their tendency to fos…
Quantum physics education at the upper-secondary level traditionally follows a historical approach, rarely extending beyond early 20th-century ideas, leaving students unprepared for comprehending mode…
This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of the Cognitive Conflict-Based Generative Learning Model (GLBCC) in enhancing science literacy among high school physics students. The novelty o…
Academic Miscommunication (AM) is the phenomenon of a professor's expectations, beliefs, or goals in the classroom differing from those of the students. In this study, a survey was given to undergradu…
Reasoning models are the new generation of Large Language Models (LLMs) capable of complex problem solving. Their reliability in solving introductory physics problems was tested by evaluating a sample…
This study investigates the long term influence of high school science education on adults' engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) and their views on science-technology-society (STS) issues. Dra…
Physics programs are continually evolving to better support student learning and meet the diverse needs of their populations. Achieving many of these goals requires not only structural adjustments but…
This paper examines the initial beliefs held by elementary educators (n=11) and their students about teaching and learning quantum concepts at the elementary level. All teachers were participants in a…
Visual-graphical qubit representations offer a means to introduce abstract quantum concepts - such as quantum state, superposition, or measurement - in an accessible manner, particularly for learners …
The complexity of the science underlying quantum technology may pose a barrier to its democratization. This study investigated whether metaphors improve comprehension of, and shape attitudes toward, q…
Introductory physics labs can be designed and studied using the Communities of Practice framework, where a group of members pursues a common set of goals by learning and implementing a set of practice…
This work explores the integration of AI custom chatbots in educational settings, with a particular focus on their applicability in the context of mathematics and physics. In view of the increasing de…
Over the last five years, the McGill University Office of Science Education (OSE) has partnered with faculty members from the Department of Physics to form an education research group with the aim of …
Pictures in physics education go beyond instructional functions and serve affective roles, such as attracting attention, creating fascination, and fostering engagement with the depicted content. Recog…
