This study applies Computational Grounded Theory (CGT) to analyze student misconceptions using interaction data from an AI-powered chatbot deployed in a university-level Modern Physics course. The cha…
Providing meaningful research experiences for undergraduate students is a well-recognized challenge, particularly at community colleges and teaching-focused institutions where resources are limited an…
Amid the growth of social media, students increasingly turn to short-form platforms for study support and advice. This study examines how A-level Physics is portrayed by student creators on TikTok, a …
Engaging in meaningful collaborations with peers, both inside and outside the classroom, can greatly enhance students' understanding of physics and other STEM disciplines. We analyzed the characterist…
Many early career educators, such as teaching assistants (TAs) in college courses, as well as pre-college educators, need help both with content and pedagogical knowledge to effectively help their stu…
Collaboration with peers both inside and outside the classroom can be an invaluable tool for helping students learn physics. We investigated the impact of peer collaboration on learning physics by exa…
In this research, we investigated the impact of peer collaboration and changes from individual to group performance of graduate students on the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) wi…
A growing number of introductory physics instructors are implementing active learning methods in their classrooms, and they are modifying the methods to fit their local instructional contexts. However…
It is astonishing how rapidly general-purpose AI has crossed familiar thresholds in introductory physics. Comparing outputs from successive models, GPT-5 Thinking moves far beyond the plug-and-chug te…
Substantial research indicates that active learning methods improve student learning more than traditional lecturing. Accordingly, current studies aim to characterize and evaluate different instructor…
An increasing number of studies in physics education research use social network analysis to quantify interactions among students. These studies typically gather data through online surveys using one …
This study presents a systematic approach for converting qualitative data into quantitative parameters within a system dynamics (SD) framework, focusing on modeling engineering student engagement. Alt…
As a famous landmark and feat of engineering, the Gateway Arch was a popular destination at the 2025 AAPT Winter Meeting in St. Louis. The visit to the observation deck of the Gateway Arch is unique, …
The Feynman learning technique is an active learning strategy that helps learners simplify complex information through student-led teaching and discussion. In this paper, we present the development an…
Extensive research has demonstrated that active learning methods are more effective than traditional lecturing at improving student conceptual understanding and reducing failure rates in undergraduate…
Research-based multiple-choice questions implemented in class with peer instruction have been shown to be an effective tool for improving students' engagement and learning outcomes. Moreover, multiple…
This mentoring resource is a guide to establishing and running near-peer mentorship programs. It is based on the working knowledge and best practices developed by the Access Network, a collection of n…
In a popular YouTube video by the channel Veritasium, the following question is posed: Imagine you have a giant circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and two wires which are each 30…
In this work, we present a simple and low cost experiment designed to determine the infrared water absorption coefficient. We used a TV remote control as a point source of infrared light. The intensit…
Graphs are essential representations in the professions and education concerning the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Beyond their academic relevance, graphs find …
